So delicious and incredibly easy -- literally dumped everything in the crock pot and let it simmer all day. I used chicken thighs, and followed one of the other comments using Better Than Bouillon's Soffrito vs. making my own. This is a keeper!

I thought it was very tasty! Not everything healthy has to taste awful; and this soup proved it. My lentils were still not tender after 4 hours; so may need to allow for extra time. Thanks for the great soup.

This has to be the easiest and most delicious meal I have made in a long time.  It was a last minute throw together, and I actually used a couple of large tablespoons of “Better than Bouillons” jarred Sofrito that I found at Sprouts.  OMG the meal was amazing and will definitely be going on repeat.  It also made a ton, so I have two containers in the freezer with some ready to heat and eat when I need an instant meal.

Great soup. Easy, tasty, and makes a lot. I used chicken breast and store bought sofrito. Will definitely make again.

OMG! This is so good! ❤️
Did the recipe as instructed and it is delicious! Well seasoned with a little kick, it is perfect! 😋

This was delicious and so easy.  Making it again this weekend!

Super easy and delicious! I added celery but otherwise followed the recipe exactly - used low sodium chicken stock and it was perfect!

I made this with chicken breast and it turned out excellent. Next time I'm going to make it with the chicken thighs, and I think it will be even better.

Can’t wait to try this! Made the sofrito today. Smells amazing already! Thanks Gina!

Easy and delicious! I only had 1 pound of chicken, and it still turned out great. Thank you for the sofrito recipe! I’ll use it in other dishes.
I like to finish lentil soups with a bit of lemon juice for brightness, and could have eaten this soup without it. We ate this with crusty bread and a nice salad.
Thanks for sharing you delicious recipes, Gina!

I made this recipe this morning (as written).  Delicious!  I cooked it using 4 hours on high.
