Soupies all over the world were waiting with baited breath for Apple’s release of the i-French Lentil Stew with Roasted Veggies (nicknamed the i-Stew). Oh, the capabilities!! The earthy French lentils complement the slow roasted carrots perfectly. The mint and the chilis add subtle background flavors. It is hearty, healthy, and delicious. Some critics think it is too similar to Apple’s i-Soup. They are wrong. Not only can you eat the i-Stew, but if stirred properly, you can read a book while heating it. That was not an option with the i-Soup. You can also check your e-mail while packaging the extra soup in your tupperware to bring to work for lunch. A note of caution – if you try plugging your i-Pod into the i-Stew, it will break because at the end of the day, the i-Stew is a stew. In short, there was life before the i-Stew, and after the i-Stew. The i-Stew rocks and I must have it now.
Ingredients (in no particular order): rench green lentils, carrots, mint, Harissa, lemon juice, onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, homemade vegetable stock goodness.
Soup type: Chunky

The lentil soup rocks!!! I love the chunky carrots and other veggies. I almost ate the full quart of soup for lunch….I could not stop eating it! Souper girl we are so glad you are here. My New Year’s resolution was to get physically fit and tip top healthy. Thanks to you my health is well on it’s way!
I love, love, love this soup. At first I wasn’t too sure about roasted vegetables but was pleasantly surprised when I found chucks of carrots. Awesome!!
Coincidentally, I had a similar soup from Whole Foods the week before that I thought was *pretty good*. Then, I had your soup and I was BLOWN away. I figured out what the other soup was missing…. TASTE. Your soup was so flavorful (plus, I loved, loved, loved the chunky carrots). I could not place the spices, but loved the combination. Plus, my 2 year old daughter loved it!
Not to be the naysayer here, but I was underwhelmed. Too much lentils and not enough of anything else going on. Still a good hearty meal, just not up to the usual whoa-that-rocked SouperGirl standard
YUM! The carrot chunks really made this soup extra special. It was really lentil-y as Kelly says, but (I thought) in a good way.
