Something a little different from the typical oven fries. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s quite close. I originally tried them at a tiny restaurant in Montreal and really wanted to recreate their recipe. I hope you take pleasure in them as much as I do.

Reviews
I followed the directions mostly…I added a cup of potato’s to make it even more stew like. I agree with other reviewers when they say it definitely needed more spice (which I gave it). Smelled great cooking and with my tweaks tastes good too. Thanks for the recipe! I am pleased I chose it and very pleased with the result. Happy Thanksgiving!
Very yummy and very healthy!
I didn’t have tomato juice, so I used a can of petite diced tomatoes and added 2 extra cups of water. My dash of Worcestershire sauce was a pretty big dash. I also used fresh mushrooms (one container of pre-sliced). The end result was good. I’m freezing the leftovers to enjoy another day,
Loved it i will make it again!
This soup came out awesome! It was very easy to make. My boyfriend & I made it together. I am a vegetarian, so I didn’t eat it myself, but it got great reviews from all my friends & family. This recipe was very easy to make & required very little prep time. My boyfriend, Ray & I made this together . We “tweaked” a few ingredients in this recipe. Ray is an avid hunter, so instead of using hamburger, we used moose meat (burger). After preparing our ingredients, we decided to make a double batch at the last minute. We didn’t have enough tomato/vegetable juice on hand, so we improvised by diluting 2 cans of tomato soup. It worked out perfectly! 🙂
I love this recipe. I had never made lintel soup ever before. Now I make this on Sundays and take it to work during the week. Thanks so much for the original recipe!
So easy and so delicious!
Excellent and so easy!
I was really surprised how well the flavors of this soup blended together. It is delicious. The things I did different from the recipe were to use 2 cups carrots, 8 oz fresh sliced mushrooms, omit the celery, and only use 2 cups water.
Easy in a crockpot. I used ground lamb meat and it turned out great.
Tasty! Dredged stewed beef in spices and flour before browning. Stuck to recipe after that.
I loved how hearty and healthy this soup was! This is a keeper for me. Thanks for the recipe!
Great easy recipe that even my kids enjoy. We are vegetarian so I used soy crumbles which worked very well. I also added a cup of eggplant diced extra small just to have more fresh veggies in there.
I LOVE it! I modified because I had 2 l of Motts Clamatto The Works and wow the flavour is fab! I read other reviews and added 2 cloves of garlic that I sauted with the onion and fresh mushrooms I used 4 pkts of beef oxo and 2 -3 cups water. big tbsp of worchestershire sauce and 1 sp cumin and additional tsp chopped garlic (in a jar). I used half ground chicken cause it was bought by mistake and I don’t have much recipes for it.
3 cans V8 spicy-find an alternative with less sodium about 8 cups chicken broth add lots of garlic add dried basil and hot sauce and extra worchestshire check taste for seasoning I used chicken & pork sausage instead of ground beef I added some barley also
This is the best lentil soup I’ve made. I used turkey ground beef and fresh mushrooms. It was delicious!
I had to add about three cups of chicken broth because all you could taste was the vegetable juice. I also added 10 cloves of garlic because it was really bland.
Good overall, but a little lackluster in flavor.
A good, nutritious soup. Solid recipe, but I think some garlic would be a nice addition.
Yummy and healthy, I used ground turkey and spicy v8, cayenne as well, turned out great!
This was such a surprising recipe – much better than I anticipated and easy. I used fresh sliced mushrooms instead of canned and followed some of the other reviewers advice and “spiced it up” a bit – red pepper flake, paprika, a couple dashes of hot sauce. The end result was like a cross between vegetable soup and chili. Quite tasty.
