This recipe contains several ingredients I've never tried--lentils and kale--so I was really looking forward to making it. Mrs. Hamersley follows in her husband's tradition. The recipe contains a manageable number of ingredients and is quick and easy to put together. Unlike most dried beans, you do not pre-soak the lentils before cooking--saving time. Also, I cheated and used my low sodium chicken broth in a box instead of making the broth from scratch as directed.
I wish I could say that the soup tasted as good as it smelled. I loved the kale but the texture of the lentils was not to my liking.
If you make this, be sure to top the soup with the French bread and Asiago cheese. This step really completes the dish.
The bottom line: I love soup in the winter and am always looking for another recipe to add to my repertoire. Unfortunately, this one did not make the cut.
