Cathy: I’ve never tried freezing…though I have to believe it would. Let me know if you try. As for the cumin seeds, yes they seem to soften/disappear. At least, I don’t notice them.

One more thing–what happens to those cumin seeds?..do they soften up? Do they melt into the soup?
I am dying to make this and bring it my daughter–a huge fan–so tomorrow is the day since I am doing the corned beef thing tonight…

Do you think this would freeze well?

I totally vote for ‘the sentimental lentil’!! Love it (and the soup look pretty fine, also. I so love those lentils.)

Yesterday I was at a Mediterranean restaurant in Ann Arbor (the best falafel wraps ever!). We sat at the counter right where they were cooking–so they gave us samples of everything…and one of the samples was red lentil soup!! It was delicious…and he ran thru the recipe and it was pretty much what you did..so today I went out and bought red lentils and I am anxious to try it. Thanks Carolyn…

D: I usually use homemade stock (which I do not typically salt) or reduced sodium broth in the majority of my recipes. So added salt may need to be adjusted to taste depending on your cooking liquid of choice. Glad you tried/liked!

I tried it today and will make it again in future. My only problem was that my stock was too salty.

I do love lentils myself, so I understand your urge to change the name :)
this soup looks so good, I will have to try it.
