I know it sounds weird. . . apples and lentils? But it's a delicious, light, and healthy soup. Serve this with some homemade bread, a salad, and it's a meal. This is a regular at our family table; I hope you like it.

Skipped the celery had none. Added hot pepper flakes to each individual bowl. Yum. Great soup for the cold winter nights in Wisconsin. Will make again for sure. Read More

I found this soup a little bland as the recipe is written so I dished up individual bowls and tried out different spices. Hot pepper flakes as another reviewer suggested were excellent as were curry powder and a dash of cinnamon I also liked cumin. A little spice makes this a nice warming cold weather dish. Read More

This is a terrific soup. I added red pepper based on other recommendations. I also converted this to an Instant Pot recipe. I sauteed the apples and onions in the Instant Pot continued the recipe and then pressed the soup button. I think that translates to 30 minutes high pressure. Next time I will try it with 1 cup of uncooked lentils instead of precooked. I was not impressed with my first spoonful. I think I just didn t get the soup right away. By the 5th spoonful I thought it was delicious and I had a second bowl. Read More
