In reply to Jane. We're so sorry you didn't enjoy it, Jane. This recipe is based off of an Italian recipe called Zuppa di Lenticchie which often doesn't contain tomatoes. You could certainly add tomatoes and herbs such as rosemary, parsley, or thyme, but this soup is intentionally pretty neutral in flavor. We aren't sure what would cause it to taste like dirt though – that's a total bummer!

This was quite possibly the worst meal I’ve ever had in my life! There was nothing Italian about it. Where are the tomatoes? Where are the Italian spices? It tasted like dirt.

In reply to Jenny K. Amazing!! We're so glad the soup was a hit even with your son who doesn't like soup. And what a great idea to make an easy recipe book for them. Thank you for sharing, Jenny! xo

DELICIOUS! My son who doesn’t like soup took one bite and said, “This is great!” I’m compiling easy recipes for my adult “kids” to make, and this one will definitely go in the notebook;
I made it in the Instant Pot per your instructions at the end, and it turned out perfect. I added small-chopped mushrooms and small-diced butternut squash to the veggie sauté. I cooked whole wheat rotini pasta separately on the stove and added it to the soup at the end. I’m SO GLAD I made a DOUBLE BATCH because we are having it again tonight!
