I love Puy lentils…I make then with 1/2 red wine and 1/2 chicken stock, into sautéed diced red onion, and the last few moments of cooking add thyme and sliced fresh salmon and let the salmon cook those last few moments. It’s lovely. Looking forward to trying your lentil soup!

Making it for New Years. My French relatives gave me a tin box of Sabarot lentille verte du Puy in a tin box. This is perfect for seeing in 2012. Adding some Fra Mani spicy Italian sausage. Like the idea of cumin in the recipe.

This is my favorite lentil soup recipe! You usually don’t miss with one of Ina Garten’s recipes, which this is, except that she also adds leeks (2 cups). I do not have access to green lentils, but after reading these reviews, I must order some online. The soup has been delicious for us with just the regular lentils. We like to add some kielbasa during the last hour, cut in half lengthwise and sliced 1/3 inch thick. My husband and I ate this soup for about a week because it makes so much. And, yes, it tasted just as good every single day, and so, for the person who asked, you could definitely make it the day ahead of your dinner party.

Does anyone know how this would be if I made it for a dinner party the day before?

I also wonder if you have ideas about the rest of the menu. What would go well with this beautiful soup?

What a wonderfully simple lentil soup! I roast an additional red onion and stir it in at the end of mine. Delicious! Here’s my variation: http://noshesthoughtsreves.blogspot.com/2011/02/french-style-lentil-soup.html
