Lentil Chowder image

This is a recipe I got out of a magazine (around 20 years ago) that really fills you up on a cold day. The main ingredients (lentils, ham, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onions) can cook all day in either a crockpot, or a stove-top pot - although I have always made it in a crock pot. The addition of mushroom soup, beef boullion granules and parsley help with the overall taste and seasoning. This recipe is easily adjusted for personal taste (can omit one of the vegetables, or add more/less of one) and takes very little preparation time. The soup tastes great as a leftover, too!

1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and cook on low setting of 8 to 10 hours (or on high setting for 4 to 5 hours).

This chowder was delicious! I loved the combination of lentils, vegetables, and spices. It was the perfect meal for a cold winter day.

Overall, I thought this lentil chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs some tweaking. I'll try adding some different vegetables and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out too watery. I think I'll reduce the amount of broth next time.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of lentil soup, but this chowder was surprisingly good! The flavors were well-balanced and the lentils were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
