My husband has prediabetes, so he has to count carbs. He loves lentils, so I'd definitely make this soup :) I'm making your pinto bean soup recipe later today. I even remembered to soak the beans overnight. Thank you so much! Sherry Roni,

I did add 2 stalks of celery, and a can of diced tomatoes. Doubled the recipe, cooked longer because it took a while for the veggies to get tender, so it has a nice thick consistency. Never will I buy canned lentil soup again. Thank you!!! Made this last night and it is SO good! I did add 2 stalks of celery, and a can of diced tomatoes.

You don't have to soak the lentils? Would you say a serving is a cup? I love having low point soups around, and eat them all year round. I'm going to get the stuff today to make this rather than another soup I was going to make. I LOVE lentil soup, and the ones at the store are SO high in sodium.

And filling! Although I couldn't help but have 2 bowls...oh well! I think next time I will add celery and maybe a can of stewed tom's. It really reminded me of chili....and I liked the flavor the bacon bits added, it was very mild, but tasty! Thanks roni! Made this yesterday….it was very good! And filling!

What was I waiting for? This stuff is great. It is very bacony(is that a word?) and filling. I added a little zucchini I had left over and a stock of celery. I always have soup in the freezer in little bowls for lunch or a snack. This soup will definetely go into my list of regulars. Thanks. Roni-

You can get some many different types and each has it's own flavor. Try some mung beans with spinach (using the onion/tomato base you have above) - it's wonderful - a pinch of cumin or corriander powder really makes a big difference in the stew/soup. You may also want to consider investing in a pressure cooker - it cuts down the time needed to cook lentils and any veggies like potatoes and carrots...plus it's all fat free cooking!

I let mine cook too long so it wasn't as soupy as I wanted, but it was still good! I think next time I will add celery and zucchini to it to add some bulk and color. I have never tried lentils until I made this. YUM-O! Even the husband liked it. Now...my toddler....he wouldn't go near it. ;) I made this on New Year’s Day and it was AWESOME!!!!

All the recipes I look at have so much fat that it would defeat the purpose of eating the lentils. I am trying to think of a few more 0 pt veggies I could put into it to bulk it up a little.
