Great soup! I had been wanting to try lentils, and this eas very good. The only change I made was using a small tomato paste and a little extra water, since I am not a fan of chunky tomatoes. We have already made a second batch.

Delicious
This recipe was great! I did use spinach instead of Kale because I had it handy. We will definitely be having this again.

Lentils, Tomato, and Chicken Soup
We converted this to a vegetarian version by replacing the chicken stock with a vegetable broth and the chicken breast with a vegetarian substitute. This was a great soup for a cold winter night.

Healthified Lentil and Tomatoe soup
I loved this receipt. I personalized it by adding Mortons Natures seasoning ( no salt) and a half bag of organic broccoli slaw to it and there were compliments on how flavorful it was. I used organic ingrediants for the chix broth and tomatoes which is the kind I use and it turned out great. I will definately make this again,.

FANTASTIC soup!
This is a GREAT soup recipe because it is very healthy, low calorie, and very hearty. I cannot recommend it enough. I changed only one thing...I added more carrots and more kale to make it even heartier...delish!
