Any time I'm feeling stressed, I watch your videos and it's instant serotonin. Such a wonderfully wholesome person. Truly the Bob Ross of culinary arts. 😊
I’m a Greek cook working at the French Alps for the season and this week I got sick.I was thinking about making a Greek lentil soup all day.Talk about coincidences.Thank you John!👌🏻😋🤍
Nothing is better than a hit bowl of soup in the winter. A teaspoon of minced ginger adds a bit of extra flavor and zing, not to mention the health benefits of ginger.
Made the soup and it was a hit. So very good. I didn’t have veggie stock, so I used chicken stock. Also used curry as a sub. The lemon juice really brightened up the soup-I wasn’t sure about the lemon, but it worked. I’m thinking the leftovers will be even better tomorrow! Thanks again John!
Gotta try this. Here in Trinidad we usually make stewed lentils and served with rice and some sorta protein(usually stewed as well). Never had this as a soup. So definitely gonna try this recipe out too. And it's nice and healthy 😁 thanks for sharing xoxo love from Trinidad
I love that you explain how to use the pots depending on the type you are using to cook in. People tend to leave out that information in cooking videos. Not everyone is going to have the gourmet pots and pans. Thank you for that info❤️
I love lentils. We had them in many forms when my kids were growing up. They still love lentils. This soup looks delicious and familiar. I would serve with cornbread or rice or both.
I love lentil soup. I use the same veggies but instead of kale I use spinach. I like to add smoked paprika to it. I've never added the lemon or evoo/vinegar but will try it one of these days. Thanks for the recipe.
I've made Lentil soup many ways, but haven't tried your way yet & soon will. The addition of lemon, with the spice combo thyme, cumin, & coriander all together sounds like a good new twist.
My mom has been making lentil soup since I can remember, it’s a comfort food to me 😊 Such a staple in Greek homes! For the acidic factor, I do what my mom does and use red wine vinegar, gives that extra kick of acid and flavour.
Hey John, I love the variety of sweet baked goods and food, but would you consider making some salty baked goodie videos too? Your videos always inspire me to try new things in the kitchen, I actively cook and bake everyday so sometimes my ideas are running out!
I just made this soup and finished a large bowl. It was sooo delicious! It had so much flavor and was warm and inviting on this cold winter day. I really liked this recipe as I’m a vegetarian. I only added a teaspoon and a half of paprika. Just so scrumptious! 😋
This is called Sambar in india. its a staple food of south indians (like cooked atleast once or twice a week). Its great to see the same food patters across different cultures and continents.
That's how I've made it for years except no coriander, cumin, lemon or oil. I don't bother washing lentils and do use a pressure cooker (very fast). When I want to vary the flavor of individual portions, I add a little balsamic vinegar or smoke flavor or even BBQ sauce. There's a big variety of the latter available, so lots of options. Make about 6 qts. at a time since it freezes well. Rustic sourdough bread (if my starter is especially active) and cornbread go well with it. If you have the time and inclination, make your own beef stock...much better than commercial. Here, too, a pressure cooker quickly extracts all the flavor.
thanks for the reminder about lentil soup. i have a soup loving neighbor who is now in the hospital unfortunately. he's getting better already. i think i'll have this soup ready for him when he comes home. thanks, john.
I am so happy you have done a vegan recipe. Whether by choice or by chance. I love your channel and love watching. And this is something I can make, though I'd swap the carrot for sweet potato, the kale for spinach and, the celery for cauliflower. So the same recipe, just with vegetables I like.
I really like this soup! I would love to make it. I like to bake Soda Bread and this would go well. I particularly like the lemon, it reminds me of North African harira soup.
Thank you so much for posting this! A friend of mine has been having a really hard time lately. I know one of her favorite soups is lentil soup. I'm going to make this and take over some for her. Thank you again. ❤
I can’t believe I have all of these ingredients at home, including kale in the front yard! Just got some lentils for sprouting so I will sprout some and use these, I’m sure it will be wonderful
I made it today! All the main ingredients. Cooling off now, will try with olive oil and vinegar! I thought you were going to say - sourcream. Thanks JC
I make it the same way! Last time I didn't have kale or spinach but I had the greens of a bunch of beets and I added them. Only the greens chopped. Delish!
Lentil soup has always been one of my favorite foods. I remember once eating so much of my mom's lentil soup as a kid, I made myself sick. I will definitely have to try yours.
I made this tonight and was SUPER happy with how it came out! The kale adds a wonderful flavor, surprisingly. We almost didn't add it in then decided to and so glad we did! I plan to make this again sometime 😋
Just made this amazing lentil soup today and it came out great! I added spinach instead of kale because that is what I had on hand and added a little parmesan cheese on top when serving. Delicious!!
Omg this is the second time I’ve made dinner and then while getting ready for bed I check RUclips just to see Preppy Kitchen has posted a recipe for what I JUST made….this is getting wild (first time was the French onion soup) proud to be on the same wavelength as John hahaha
Lentils are super popular in France. This soup looks very hearty for a veggie soup. I am allergic to celery so I will use fennel instead. When you cook it with onions and carrots, it looses that licorice taste and is tasty.
Yesss!! I was going to make some yesterday. I love lentil soup!!! I just need the veggies for it hahah. Thank you! I do add some garlic to my lentil soup. 😋
My experience with lentils is subtle in your recipe. I found out a long time ago not to cook them in salted water, but to wait with the salt to the very end. Otherwise, they seem to never get soft. You did this so smoothly, and I am glad to see it. Lemon as a top note sounds delicious.
@@PreppyKitchen I HAVE EVERYTHING!!!!...Oh Yes, looks like it's a done deal for dinner tonight...along with your dinner rolls recipe 🤗😁. Many thanks, awesome recipes👏 💯..greetings from Kingston, Jamaica btw...🇯🇲🤩🏖
We make this recipe all the time in my house, my mother in law is Spanish and I learnt the recipe from her. Minus the kale and we add courgette and a lot more celery
I add Italian sausage along with the kale toake it extra hearty. I'm making the cheese danish tomorrow. Very grateful to you for all your amazing recipes 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Adding red pepper and lemon juice makes iron from lentils easier to absorb. Also for fussy eaters and those who don't like chunky veg, you can leave your vegies whole and once cooked remove, blend and add back in. Also a bit more liquid will make it heartier. Adding vinegar is such a Greek thing to do, well done on your research and execution for this recipe!!
My husband loves lentils (me too), so I'll definitely make this! I'll have to put the onion in with the two cups of soup and blend it (he can't tolerate chopped onions, a texture thing) and will sub chopped spinach for the kale. Thanks John!!!
Love the lemon tip. I actually make my quite a bit like yours but didn't know about the lemon. Look forward to adding that in next time I make this yummy soup.
Lentil soup is so warm and yummy!! My friends and I watch your videos and absolutely love them! 💙 Our group is unanimously in agreement for asking if you will include more Brian in your vids! Pleeezzz? And your lentil soup sounds really 🍲 great!!
All the ingredients look very good I use the same recipe. I add a little extra though I put some bacon in the pot render the fat add all ingredients to the pot gives it nice body. Same with collard greens cook collard greens with ham hock bone or bacon ads body.
I also add a wonderful nice and dried slim smoked sausage. Like a skinny chorizo or pepperoni. Not too fat , but needs to be dried well so it releases its slight taste barely and doesn't boil to pieces. If the sausage is 6-8 inches , i cut it into 2-4 pieces. It is not in here to add flavor to the whole soup/lentil dish but really just is wonderful to find a little piece . I guess good dried cabanozzi work too.
I just made this delicious lentil soup/stew. It WAS delicious! As I had some frozen kale, I used that instead of fresh and worked well as a substitute. Thank you, John for this wonderful recipe.
I love lintel soup in a variety of ways... this vegan option tastes great but we've also used ham and add a little bit of molasses! It's so good! Also... a dollop of sour cream is always nummy.
Looks so good! I made crock pot lentil soup with ham yesterday, but it was missing flavor. This recipe has a lot of flavor going on, will make it next time for sure. I'll probably add ham at the end. Really enjoy your videos, thank you!

Hope it's a hit!
Nothing is better than a hit bowl of soup in the winter. A teaspoon of minced ginger adds a bit of extra flavor and zing, not to mention the health benefits of ginger.
My absolute one ingredient in every soup is a smidge of hot pepper flakes. Brightens the flavor so much 😋

This lentil soup is different to me. But I’ll definitely try it, just so happens I have all the ingredients. Thanks for sharing this recipe 👍🏼👍🏼🤤🤤

I usually do spinach instead of kale. So yummy
I can’t believe I have all of these ingredients at home, including kale in the front yard! Just got some lentils for sprouting so I will sprout some and use these, I’m sure it will be wonderful
My family have been hooked on barley forever and don’t consider a soup complete without it. This one sounds lovely, but I would add some barley too. 🙏
Wow, the tomatoes are new to me! I've always did lentil and ham soup. Imagine chicken noodle meets split pea. I'm definitely trying this recipe!
I made it today! All the main ingredients. Cooling off now, will try with olive oil and vinegar! I thought you were going to say - sourcream. Thanks JC

Yum! Spinach goes really well with lentil soup too
I just made lentil soup yesterday! Different recipe but still delicious. I'll definitely try this next time. :)

I plan to make this again sometime 😋
Wow, lentil soup is great John! It's great for a cold or fever when you need it. Thanks for the recipe! 😋😋😊
Looks delicious but definitely more stew than soup. Think I will have to put lentils on the grocery list!
Looks great! Will give it a go with this cold weather. 🥶
Gonna try this. Here in Northern Ireland wee use red lentils and ham on the bone for flavour. Chop the ham up and add at the end
A vegan recipe John?? I ❤️ it!!! Enjoy watching your videos but here’s one I don’t have to veganize. It looks amazing! Thank you 😊
I like to add cayenne pepper, turmeric, and black pepper to my lentil soup. Lentil soup is probably my favorite meal.
John this recipe solidified for me that you really were raised Greek! Would love to see more middle eastern recipes.
Just made this amazing lentil soup today and it came out great! I added spinach instead of kale because that is what I had on hand and added a little parmesan cheese on top when serving. Delicious!!

Personally I dont think Ill make this but I have to watch every Preppy Kichen video to get my dose of John !! ;)
Love lentil soup. I add a little sherry to it and top with shredded swiss cheese.
Lentils are super popular in France. This soup looks very hearty for a veggie soup. I am allergic to celery so I will use fennel instead. When you cook it with onions and carrots, it looses that licorice taste and is tasty.

Italian sausage sounds so good. I like a little bit of heat so I would use the spicy hot sausage and perhaps some chili flakes. Yum!
Love lentil soup. I haven’t made it in years. Will make it this week. ❤🇨🇦
I add red wine vinegar at the end too. It's a greek thing I think? Greek style lentil soup is a staple in our house.

Love a good bowl of lentil soup. I do add a hearty ham shank and let it simmer...adds a delicious flavour.
Thanks!
I've had a bag of lentils sitting in my pantry. I'm going to give this a shot for my meal prep

Love Lentil soup is confort food 🥘
John always shares great recipes. This soup is delicious
I agree!
Thank you John
Jalapeños ,sweet potatoes ,and curry powder. I top it off with avocado or sometimes a spoonful of hummus it’s delicious,filling and warm and cozy.

Wow, looks awesome!! Looks more like stew however.
I made to my family and they love it!!!!!😋 thanks for sharing ❤️
This looks so delicious
Thank you Deborah!
That consistency is more in line of being a lentil stew instead of a soup if it has little to no liquid.
Amazing recipe John. I was guessing evoo. Coming from an Italian heritage, we did an evoo drizzle and a sprinkle of pecorino. Can't wait to try it!
calcium from cheese and dairy inhibits the iron absorption from the lentils ;)
@@eirinis8812 Who knew?
@@eirinis8812 Since I've been plant based I don't eat dairy anymore. So no worries there.
