Lemony Lentil Soup with Collards

I first followed the recipe, mostly. It had an overpowering lemon flavor and was bland. I listened to the other people and used chick broth for the veggies. But I had to add garaham masala and 2 tbsp chili sauce to give it a kick. That made it better.

I thought this was great. I had to make adjustments because of my heart condition. I only used a 1/4 tsp of salt and I used half the amount of onions ( thats just too much! ) and added cumin because I didn’t have coriander. I loved the lemony taste and the collard greens. It would have tasted much better if I added the recommended amount of salt.

This soup needs more flavor. The broth tastes like lemon water. The vegetables and lentils are very good but the soup needs a vegetable stock or some kind of fat for flavor. I should have read the five star reviews before I made it because they both used chicken stock. But then it isn't vegetarian.

I just made this, substituting half water and half low sodium chicken broth. This came out amazing, made some cilantro jasmine rice to eat with it! Mangia

This is an awesome recipe. I used brown lentils as I had them on hand. I also used chicken broth in place of water. Will make again. Very healthful and tasty
