Not only does this taste good it's very healthy. This recipe is from a diabetic cook book. Lots of vegetable, and because the lentils are high in soluble fiber this is a good recipe to lower blood cholesterol.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to give it more flavor.

This soup is a little bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
