This spicy lentil soup recipe is of my favorite soups and is easy to make. My wish is for you to have fun and enjoy this lifestyle, and eating delicious meals is part of the process. Enjoy!
Note: If you can't find parboiled brown rice, you can use regular brown rice and add 20 minutes to the cooking time.

(5 from 8 votes)Delicious! I doubled the recipe and used regular long grain brown rice I cooked the soup for 50 minutes as noted in the recipe.
Ten stars! Super yummy, and easy to make. Will be making again and again. Thank you, Torre!
This is good! Easy and quick, tasty and filling. Will make again. I put a squeeze of lemon juice in my bowl of soup---perfect.
We have been eating this soup for six years and never reviewed it - my hubby always makes it for me and tonight is my first night so I had to review! We double the recipe (we’ve used basmati when out of brown rice) and when doubling we use a while can of toms (often fire roasted, but whatever we got works perfectly) — it’s SO GOOD, I remember requesting it as a BDAY food one year!! Love love love.
Love this recipe! I've made it dozens of times and it's always wonderful!
I doubled the recipe. I used vegetable broth instead of water. I added pepper flakes instead of the cayenne which I'm not a fond of. I quartered Campari tomatoes. Added 6 green onions, sliced at an angle. It was a little bland so I added a smidge of Better Than Bouillon vegetable base. I was pleased with the outcome! Thanks for getting me started!
