This is a great smelling and great tasting soup. I feel the same way when I watch other cooks. You are so kind, Jane. Thanks for your comments. Have some fun in Canada today. 😊
Hi Berta, this soup looks delicious so funny to make it soon even though it's so hot out. I love in Tottenham Ontario Canada and just discovered your channel (2023) I love lentils in soup 👍. Thanks for sharing.
Looks wonderful Berta......will try it. I wanted to let you know how successful you salad prep has been. I found several different sized containers, washed my romaine (layered on leaf at a time; then layered in container with paper towels in between....I used spring mix, spinach and arugula, shredded carrots and radishes....all layered with paper towels....sealed good and labeled. My husband prepares his own for lunch and he loves it.....I am very happy that I won't be throwing away anymore soggy lettuce.....Thanks Berta Jay for this tip.💟😇
Wow, oh, WoW, Bev! Your words are music to my ears! I am so thankful to read them. I know there are many who think that such a simple tip won't work but I, honestly, had used this tip for years before I shared it on my channel. Simply said: This tip works! Last thing: this soup took me years to perfect but if your follow the directions it will taste delicious every time you make it. It is one of my family's favorites. Tell your husband, he's a gem. My husband prepares his own lunch also. We are blessed to have such wonderful men in our lives. Let's be more thankful for that. Loved hearing from you...🥰🌻
Love your soup!! It is sooo delicious, here in Texas is 100 degrees!! And your soup is keep me cool and full, great for my long days working in the hospital. Thank you for all your great recipes.
Claudia, you are a blessing to me. Thanks so much for your encouraging words. This is one of my family's favorites also. And thank you for all you do at your hospital for others during your long days. I believe they are grateful. Thanks for watching! Have a peace-filled day😊
Berta, When I'm chopping up vegetables I keep all vegetable scraps in a large freezer containers and continue to add until full. I add and then put back into freezer. Once full I place all scraps into pan add water to cover then boil and cook until I've made a vegetable broth. I then strain vegetable scraps and cool broth. Place broth into ice cube trays and freeze until I need broth. Then I add vegetable scraps to compost pile. Love Tamson from Kentucky 💕 💕🌼 🌷🌻 🌷

I pray l'll share some things with you about cooking whole-food plant-based (WFPB) foods, and other things as well. Btw, what company makes your air fryer and do you like it?

You are a breath of fresh air on youtube, I am 58, love to see someone cook food that I want to eat! No fake meats, I don’t want the chemicals from processed food, avoiding them for a health issue is how my journey started!
@@savannahv1808 Just saw this comment. I agree with you...though it is plant-based, it is not the food I chose to eat. Nice there are others that share that thought. You know I appreciate you, Savannah.😎 😉 Thanks so much for this comment.👍🏾
Just finished a bowl of this soup, which I made for the first time. Delicious! So nutritious and easy to make. The only thing I did differently was I added some canned mushrooms for some additional nutrition. I'm sure it did not affect the flavor. This will likely be a frequent soup this winter. Thanks for another great recipe, Berta Jay! ❤
Berta Jay i have come late to whole food plant based and have recently discovered your channel...i love your food...and i love your presence...have you considered a cookbook? if you have where can i find it? thanks
Sorry, for the delay in responding, midge. I am so glad you "discovered" me! I am so thankful you enjoy how I present what I know and do. I am working on a cookbook; I have not published one yet, but I will. Thank you so much for sharing and I pray that you have a calm and peace-filled day. 😊

You're so welcome. I am privileged to have you be a binge-watcher. It really blesses me to hear that. I really never thought so many people would enjoy hearing the little that I have learned and am still learning. Thank you, Diane so much for you comment. Forgive me for taking so long to reply. 😊
I am so excited you tried it! I don't know how to convey how good the food is so I just pray that people will try it and see for themselves. You did and that blesses me! \O/
@@TheEnglishladyskitchengarden Thanks so much, Cherie. With age comes wisdom if you are humble enough to see your "failures" as opportunities to mature. I still "fail" but I learn from each one...sometimes, I'm a wee bit slow in my learning but I never give up; don't you ever give up either, Cherie. 🥰
I enjoy watching your very professional presentations. I'm going to get a juice extractor and green bags, and try storing salad ingredients again, and finally, make this delicious-looking lentil soup. I'll keep looking for new presentations
Eleanor McShea...thank you so much for leaving such an encouraging comment. Each one of the videos I make, I do. This soup is a winner. It's my own original recipe...it is delish.
I know...it's my all time favorite though I am learning to really enjoy my other soups. Thanks for the good word, Martha...have a glorious day with joy. 😊
Oh, my goodness, Lyness. HELLO to you from AUSTRALIA. I am so excited you took the time to stop by and watch my videos. Thanks for your comment and your encouragement.
Oh, your soup looks so delicious and thank you for sharing. Right out the gate I will be making this NOW and doubling the recipe. We eat soup often. THANK YOU!!!
We do too, Donna, and this is one of my family's favorites! I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Please let me know...excited to hear from you! Have a peaceful and joyful day😊
@@bertajay : Well, we had this wonderful soup tonight and my husband said to me, "This is GOOD!" (said it twice, lol). I KNOW it was, because I had it, too. I did double the recipe, so that I can freeze a quart for later. Again, Berta Jay, THANK YOU!!
Because you said you'd watch again, Lona, just for the ingredients, I will post them under the video. This one of my family's favorite soups. When I started my channel I had so many things to do I just didn't include the list of ingredients. Check out my latest videos, I now do it all the time. Thanks for your comment...it will help other viewers as well. I just finished posting all of the soup's ingredients for the soup (I'm writing this on 1/28/19 around 11:26pm ;-).

Bette, this soup is one of family's favorites. It takes a while but it's really worth it. A little tip about this soup: the longer it stays in your fridge, the better it tastes; however, it only lasts about 3 days at my house 😄
Yvette, this is my own original recipe that I kept adding to over the years until I ended up with this! I love this soup and so does my family; I do hope you will give it a try. Thanks for your comment and kind, supportive words. 🙂
I've been thoroughly enjoying your videos! This soup recipe has made me hungry - will need to run out & replenish my bay leaves & get some majoram, but sounds like it'll be well worth it. Thanks for many enjoyable videos!! Elyse from Modesto, CA
I am so glad that you are enjoying my little labor or love for others. You making this soup will be worth it, Elyse! That I promise you. Every time I make it, I am so glad I did ;-). Thank you for leaving your comment...it made me smile.
It has taken me a while to respond but I am so glad I finally saw your comment. Do forgive me for taking so long. I love this soup! It took me a few years to perfect but it's become 1 of my family's favorite. I think that cabbage is definitely a welcome addition. Thanks for that addition. 👍🏾
This is my original recipe that I played around with for a long time. It a family favorite 🙂. It is absolutely delicious! Lots of ingredients but so worth it in the end! Let me know what you think of Marilyn...good or bad. Thank you for your comment.
Anytime, Joan...I do like doing just that. This is such a delicious soup. The longer it is left as a leftover, the better it tastes. 😁 It's just had for my family to have it around more than 2-3 days. Thank you for your comment.😀
Okay, Elena. I love cooking and also enjoy sharing my recipes. I am so glad you watched this one. It's my recipe that has evolved over the years. It's a family favorite. I do hope you'll try it and let me know what you think. Thanks for your comment. 🙂
Welcome, dear Yanya. I love this soup. It is so hardy and delicious. It was one of my 1st videos and it is not as clear as I would like it to be.Thanks so much for your comment.
I like the vegetarian broth powder. I make my own broth with all vegetables scraps that I have, onion skins and celery,etc.. and save in freezer til I get enough to boil with bay leaf, and seasonings. After I boil I screen out liquid and but in fright. Or freeze in ice cube trays. I save money and use up scraps.
Your recipes and tips are wonderful and so appreciated:) Loved this. I'm going to try your recipe. I have 3 gallons of my own in the freezer. Eat it nearly everyday:)
Okay, Limerick502. This is such a good soup! Let me know how you like it. Is that 3 gallons of your own lentil soup? Wow! Have a day full of good memories 🥰
This, honestly, is one my family's favorite soups. It tastes good the first day, but after the second day it is really scrumptious! Do give it a try, Barbara. Thanks for your comments. Your mom sounds like a wonderful woman. 🥰
I made the soup over the weekend and it is delicious...hubby liked it too! 🙌🏾💥🙌🏾 I will likely double the recipe so it will last longer. I put some collards in the crockpot with fire roasted tomatoes and roasted some beets, and a mix of potatoes to add to my salad. This made a great meal for lunch? My mom was amazing, miss her presence in my life. Thanks for sharing yourself with us... and thank Evan for recording you and sharing his mom with us!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾❤️💥☄️
@@BarbaraFaison I am so glad you tried the soup and happy that your husband liked it too 👍🏾 Your veggie-mixture sounds wonderful. I may try it myself. Thanks for sharing and I'll be sure to tell Evan what you said/wrote 😁. I appreciate your support.❤️
This is my family's favorite soup recipe that l worked on to perfect. We love this soup! I pray you will, too, Lovlv1908! After you make it, please let me know what you think. Okay? I really want to know. Thanks for your comment. 😊❤
Thank you, THANK YOU, thank you, Ann. This really is one of my family's favorites. So glad someone else enjoys it as much as we do. Love your comment...thanks again. 🍵😊
I am wondering if one can use regular white rice instead of brown rice. Would there be mushy or under-cooked rice? I was looking for a lentil soup recipe, I am not vegan. This soup looks amazing.
Honestly, Christine, I am not SURE about using white rice because I don't cook it anymore. But you could try it and see. 🤔 This soup of mine is absolutely delicious. I worked on it for a while and over the years has become one of my family's favorite. Give the white rice a try and see. I hope that suggestion helps you. Thanks for your question.😊
This one, LEGAL, is my family's favorite. We have many soups but we really enjoy this one immensely. Let me know what you think about it after making it. I'd love to hear from you. Have a stupendous day and smile alot...I hear it's good for your facial muscles😀
Hey Hey Berta Jay, I have a tip for you as well. If you bake your potatoes and let them build up a slightly tough outer layer before adding to the soup, the'll retain a bit of a chewier texture in the finished soup. I just made a pot of veggie soup today as well. Cheers!
Can u use the different colored lentils interchangeable? Does the taste or texture vary? I like lentils but haven’t had a good recipe like this to use. Going to make this tonight for tomorrow. No potatoes so I’m going to use cauliflower I have on hand, and it will have a crurciferious, thanks dear
You can use other colored lentils; but, understand that they WILL give you a different taste and texture, especially the red lentils. Cauliflower sounds like a good substitute. I am sure your soup will be delicious! You're welcome and thank you for your comment. 😊
Definitely, Sasha. Just ran upon this comment, so I thought I had better answer it. With my cornbread, this would be really good. Thanks, Sasha...have a peaceful and wonderful day 🌞
Not yet, but I am getting recipes/tips together for one. Not sure when it will be written. Lots of work to prepare and shoot my videos. Thanks so much for asking.
Have you tried soaking your lentils in water before cooking? Do that, M, for about a 30-45 minutes before cooking. Be sure you cover soaking lentils with water by at least 1/2 inch. Also, there are different types of lentils which require different cooking times. So, what color lentil are you trying to cook?
Berta, what state and town do you live in, in New England. I ask because I am looking to relocate to New England, but do not know where to relocate to.
@@bertajay oh my I made this tonight and left put the green beans and corn. Soooooo good. I used the recipe for flat bread of the seedy potato and flour and made biscuits in oven and used your sweet potato butter on the biscuits. Oh and I also made your parmasean cheese and put that on the lentils. Very good.
Looks scrummy.i did chicken bones roasted with parsnips overnight very little salt it worked csnt rember if it was majsrom or oregsno i put in. I used just coue granules of himslyan salt and it was really nice.like faint chicken taste.i may have put stock cube in it quarter or do.i dont us salt.a lot id like to try this soup.i got sit peas.i love Black eyed peas at moment i got them first time they so pretty.i keep getting hard bits in mung beens.im going to try it but not sslt cheese on tpp may be or yoghurt.its tomostoes hard to get.i like the cups for measuring.it looks delicious.have you tried eating lasagne after couple days in fridge its same.took four hours frim cordin bleu book wine too was used.i discovered blavk eyed peas have vitamin A in them..
i have just joined your channel, so i don't know whether you have done this already: have your son come on-screen for a few minutes. i just thought of it when i watched one of your older videos, and he had added a "whoosh" noise between 2 parts. it tickled me!
WELCOME, Welcome, welcome, alittlegreenjean! So glad to have you join my group! I hope you like it and will stick around for a while. My son is so wonderful! He is actually in the bread video, a recipe he made up...look here: ruclips.net/video/THbxfaHwQ8g/видео.html Thanks for your comment. I do appreciate you!
It is quite good, Cindy. It takes a bit of work but in the end you will discover that your hard work will not be in vain. You will love this soup...do try it, Cindy. Then, take a couple minutes and share your thoughts.

Your recipes and tips are wonderful and so appreciated:) Loved this. I'm going to try your recipe. I have 3 gallons of my own in the freezer. Eat it nearly everyday:)
Okay, Limerick502. This is such a good soup! Let me know how you like it. Is that 3 gallons of your own lentil soup? Wow! Have a day full of good memories 🥰
@@bertajay I promise to let you know:) Yes, that's my soup the three gallons.
I’ll have to try this...my mom used to say that, too...overnight and a few days the spices and seasoning marry. 🙌🏾💥😘😘
This, honestly, is one my family's favorite soups. It tastes good the first day, but after the second day it is really scrumptious! Do give it a try, Barbara.
Thanks for your comments. Your mom sounds like a wonderful woman. 🥰
I made the soup over the weekend and it is delicious...hubby liked it too! 🙌🏾💥🙌🏾 I will likely double the recipe so it will last longer. I put some collards in the crockpot with fire roasted tomatoes and roasted some beets, and a mix of potatoes to add to my salad. This made a great meal for lunch? My mom was amazing, miss her presence in my life. Thanks for sharing yourself with us... and thank Evan for recording you and sharing his mom with us!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾❤️💥☄️
@@BarbaraFaison I am so glad you tried the soup and happy that your husband liked it too 👍🏾
Your veggie-mixture sounds wonderful. I may try it myself. Thanks for sharing and I'll be sure to tell Evan what you said/wrote 😁. I appreciate your support.❤️
Can’t wait to make this I needed a recipe for lentils soup
This is my family's favorite soup recipe that l worked on to perfect. We love this soup! I pray you will, too, Lovlv1908! After you make it, please let me know what you think. Okay? I really want to know. Thanks for your comment. 😊❤
Enjoy your videos. Thanks
You're welcome, Heather.
Hi Berta, I am going to make this, it looks so good💜
This is one my family's favorite soups. We really enjoy it. I hope you will, too. 😊
This is so good that I've made it 3 times now!
Thank you, THANK YOU, thank you, Ann. This really is one of my family's favorites. So glad someone else enjoys it as much as we do. Love your comment...thanks again. 🍵😊
I am wondering if one can use regular white rice instead of brown rice. Would there be mushy or under-cooked rice? I was looking for a lentil soup recipe, I am not vegan. This soup looks amazing.
Honestly, Christine, I am not SURE about using white rice because I don't cook it anymore. But you could try it and see. 🤔 This soup of mine is absolutely delicious. I worked on it for a while and over the years has become one of my family's favorite. Give the white rice a try and see. I hope that suggestion helps you. Thanks for your question.😊
I’m trying this one will be back to let you know how it turned out
This one, LEGAL, is my family's favorite. We have many soups but we really enjoy this one immensely. Let me know what you think about it after making it. I'd love to hear from you. Have a stupendous day and smile alot...I hear it's good for your facial muscles😀
Hey Hey Berta Jay, I have a tip for you as well. If you bake your potatoes and let them build up a slightly tough outer layer before adding to the soup, the'll retain a bit of a chewier texture in the finished soup. I just made a pot of veggie soup today as well. Cheers!
Thanks so much, Fields. I will do that when I make this soup again. I appreciate you for taking the time to leave me this tip. Blessings to you.
Can u use the different colored lentils interchangeable? Does the taste or texture vary? I like lentils but haven’t had a good recipe like this to use. Going to make this tonight for tomorrow. No potatoes so I’m going to use cauliflower I have on hand, and it will have a crurciferious, thanks dear
You can use other colored lentils; but, understand that they WILL give you a different taste and texture, especially the red lentils. Cauliflower sounds like a good substitute. I am sure your soup will be delicious! You're welcome and thank you for your comment. 😊
That looks soooooo scrumpdiishcipous ! Do you have a cornbread recipe to go with this? 😅
Definitely, Sasha. Just ran upon this comment, so I thought I had better answer it.
With my cornbread, this would be really good. Thanks, Sasha...have a peaceful and wonderful day 🌞
I'm making this in my instant pot that I was gifted by my kids.
Sounds like the perfect place to use this recipe. Share a comment with about how it turns out. Thanks so much, Naomi.
Also, NICE CHILDREN YOU HAVE! 🥰
Do you have a cookbook? Love your program and learning many things.
Not yet, but I am getting recipes/tips together for one. Not sure when it will be written. Lots of work to prepare and shoot my videos. Thanks so much for asking.
I would love a cookbook by you, Berta.
Judy Pietrowsky ditto!
I have a problem with getting lentils soft. Almost wonder if I should even pre cook.
Have you tried soaking your lentils in water before cooking? Do that, M, for about a 30-45 minutes before cooking. Be sure you cover soaking lentils with water by at least 1/2 inch. Also, there are different types of lentils which require different cooking times. So, what color lentil are you trying to cook?
How long do we soak lentils before use🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Norma, watch the video at video from 4:19 - 4:24 minutes and I tell you how long to soak the lentils. Okay. Thanks for your comment. 🥰
Berta, what state and
town do you live in, in New England. I ask because I am looking to relocate to New England, but do not know where to relocate to.
I love your videos . You are a beautiful lady and I am going to make this.
Thanks so much. I enjoy making videos for you and others just like you. Thanks for your comment.
Really appreciate you typing out the recipe ! :)
I am glad to do it. There are lots of ingredients in this soup and each one makes a delicious final soup. I appreciate you letting me know. Thanks.😊
@@bertajay oh my I made this tonight and left put the green beans and corn. Soooooo good. I used the recipe for flat bread of the seedy potato and flour and made biscuits in oven and used your sweet potato butter on the biscuits. Oh and I also made your parmasean cheese and put that on the lentils. Very good.
@@tracyheath6076 Thanks again, Tracy for your enthusiasm! It makes me smile 😀

I appreciate your comment, Gissie. I hope you will give this soup a try. It is very good. ❤️
i have just joined your channel, so i don't know whether you have done this already: have your son come on-screen for a few minutes. i just thought of it when i watched one of your older videos, and he had added a "whoosh" noise between 2 parts. it tickled me!
WELCOME, Welcome, welcome, alittlegreenjean! So glad to have you join my group! I hope you like it and will stick around for a while.
My son is so wonderful! He is actually in the bread video, a recipe he made up...look here:

Thanks for your comment. I do appreciate you!
YUMMY
It is quite good, Cindy. It takes a bit of work but in the end you will discover that your hard work will not be in vain. You will love this soup...do try it, Cindy. Then, take a couple minutes and share your thoughts.
Can this be frozen ?
Not sure because my family eats it so fast l've never had the chance to freeze it😄. But l believe it would freeze well. Give it a try.
Cabbage, Kale and sauerkraut soup
Not sure what you mean by your comment, Rose. Do you want me to make it or do you have a recipe for it? Let me know. Thanks 😊
That recipe is delicious I'm sure. One suggestion: Use barley instead of rice. It's more nutritious.
Thanks, Mary. I appreciate your comment.
Try adding 8 ou of V8 juice spicy-delicious
Hey, Susan. I do not know what you mean by 8 ou...help me out here. Just got a thought. Do you mean 8 oz?🤔❤
@@bertajay yes I am not accustom to doing this posting.
@@beckyfisher9867 It's okay, you did fine. Here's the secret about posting: the more you do it, the better you'll get. Okay? So, let me hear from you more, just for practice.🥰
@@bertajay Tbanks I like your cooking. I love homemade vegetable soup with a good chuck roast carrots etc.
@@beckyfisher9867 That sounds delicious. But remember that l follow a whole food plant-based lifestyle. Though l do not eat meat or dairy or eggs, my recipes can fit into any healthy lifestyle. Thanks, Susan for your comment.😊❤
