Comments: Loved this recipe! So easy and nutritious! The red bell pepper and green spinach make the soup look as good as it tastes. I used chicken stock instead of the bouillon and omitted the rice. I also added some crushed red pepper to give it a kick. My friends loved it.

Comments: This soup was easy and good. I believe it is worth making over and over again. I did not use instant brown rice, I used the long cooking kind and cooked it along with the lentils and it turned out just fine. I believe that more vegetable can be added without changing the original taste of this recipe.

Comments: This was very easy to prepare. I thought it was kind of plain to taste and looks, so I added a can of tomato paste and 2 cans of water and it looks and tastes much better. I used red wine vinegar instead of white, too.
