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!👌🏻😋🤍
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❤️
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.
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.
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!
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 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! 😋
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.
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.
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.
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...🇯🇲🤩🏖
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
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 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!
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!!
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 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.
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!
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. ❤
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. 😋
I love this soup receipe. I added "Kombucha". To my soup & coyote. I skipped the kale an added spinach. My new love! I am 63 & i was looking to add more meatless dishes to my life. Thank you for this delishes receipe. I will try more of your soups. 😅❤❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🤍💯💥💫🤙👍
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 😋
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 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 🥰🥰🥰🥰
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.
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.
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.
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
Omg this is the second time I’ve made dinner and then while getting ready for bed I check TH-cam 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
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.
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!!!
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!!
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.

How serendipitous!! I've been looking for this recipe from a trusted source for 2 days..thanks for being on my wave length...
I was just thinking that I needed a lentil soup recipe. Couldn't have been posted at a better time. Thank you.
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
Yum! Spinach goes really well with lentil soup too
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!
My absolute one ingredient in every soup is a smidge of hot pepper flakes. Brightens the flavor so much 😋
Your family is so blessed to have you❤️ you’re so talented and the joy you bring is incredible.
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.
Personally I dont think Ill make this but I have to watch every Preppy Kichen video to get my dose of John !! ;)

John this recipe solidified for me that you really were raised Greek! Would love to see more middle eastern recipes.
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 moms obsessed with Lentil! I am going to try to make this for her! So exited!
Hope it's a hit!
Looks great! Will give it a go with this cold weather. 🥶
Great video! Hope to see more family dinner recipes. Thanks for this delicious, healthy recipe!

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. 🙏
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!!
Just love that kitchen... 🤩 and watching your videos, thank you!!
I’m going to try this recipe out. Looks yummy!
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.
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.
Lentil soup was on my playlist for tonight’s dinner! You know me so well John! Thanks!👍🏽

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 like to add cayenne pepper, turmeric, and black pepper to my lentil soup. Lentil soup is probably my favorite meal.
I've made this soup several times since I found your recipe - truly delicious.
Great recipe 👌😋!
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 🥰🥰🥰🥰
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!
I just made lentil soup yesterday! Different recipe but still delicious. I'll definitely try this next time. :)
John always shares great recipes. This soup is delicious
I agree!
This soup is so delicious and easy to make. A health warm winter dish. Thank you John!
Looks delicious but definitely more stew than soup. Think I will have to put lentils on the grocery list!
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 👍🏼👍🏼🤤🤤

Love lentil soup. I add a little sherry to it and top with shredded swiss cheese.
Wow, looks awesome!! Looks more like stew however.
Thank you John
Can’t wait to make this 😍👏🏼👏🏼
