This was an easy recipe. I added all ingredients to my slow cooker and left it. Very flavorful and filling. I added salt after it was done cooking..adding salt to lentils before they're done could keep them  hard and uncooked. I definitely will make this again. I think next time I will add zucchini or different veggies.

I used  no salt chicken broth in place of water, tasted it half way through cooking and found it a bit on the thin side so I added
a can of  Canelli beans but mashed about  1/3 of the can to thicken it up.Other then that a good soup, and lots of leftovers 
so I  filled a few containers and froze it for another day.
Thank you for the recipe.
