Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup

A very tasty and simple soup! I used 1 large sweet potato, hoping that was about 750g. I added a can of garbanzo beans and used my "boat motor" to puree (stick blender). Served with a simple salad, a great summer meal!

Yum, yum, and yum again. Thank goodness for the poster who explained that this recipe is asking for a half cup of cilantro, not a half cup of ground coriander!! The lemon also really added something at the end. The only thing I would change next time is to boil the lentils and spices for about 20 minutes before I add the potatos and onions. The potatos were really falling apart before the lentils were done.

So good! I didn't bother pureeing the soup and thought it was very delicious. I would advice people in the United States that when the recipe calls for 1/2 cup coriander it is referring to what you find in supermarkets here as fresh cilantro (don't use dried coriander seeds or ground coriander - this would give it a very different flavor).

This is so very yummy and extremely filling. I actually let it perk away on the stove a bit longer so ended up adding another cup of stock. We found the coriander flavour goes right through the soup so if you arn't overly keen on a stong coriander flavour just watch how much you put in, maybe just add a bit at a time until you are happy with the flavour. I served with my Curry and Mayonnaise Rusks Curry and Mayonnaise Rusks and they went perfectly together. Thanks misstasty for posting a fabulous recipe.
