In reply to Frani. Thank you so much for making and commenting on the recipe, Frani. And extra thanks for sharing this delicious soup with your sister. Food is meant to be shared, especially when it's something as nourishing as lentil soup! Hope you'll both enjoy plenty more bowls.

In reply to Frani. Thank you so much Frani, and you're very welcome! Nothing I love more than sharing a recipe for an ultra comforting bowl of soup for readers in colder weather climate. I hope it warms your bones :)

Merci, Mon Amie. I made a batch of this soup today, on a lovely autumn afternoon in Maryland, and I’m so looking forward to supper. It’s absolutely delicious, perfect for a chilly fall or winter evening. I love every recipe I’ve made from you.

In reply to Brian.

Truly appreciate the support Brian, and so glad this soup has made another round in your kitchen. It’s one of those recipes that, if you like it, it tends to stick around for a long time. And about the “laziness”, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that – it just makes the soup more rustic 🙂 Merci!

This was my second time making it. I was a little lazy and did large cuts for the diced onions, carrots, & celery. Still turned out amazing. I already shared the recipe with my in-laws and brother. Thank you. ps love your book too.

In reply to Judy Guenther. Love to hear this, Judy! Really happy you found the puy lentils, there's just something a little different about them that's hard to explain. And having a French product supply is wonderful! Thanks for reviewing the recipe, I am so happy you enjoyed it :)

These lentils were just amazing! I found an online French products store from which I purchased the Puy lentils. The spices and everything, combined with the lentils, made a wonderful meal–in fact, several, for our family of two. I used more ham but found everything stunning.
