Lentil Soup from Ricardo

This soup was fast and simple, I'll certainly say that for it. The problems I had are that it turned out quite watery- usually lentil soups are thick and filling, but this one seemed to have too much liquid- and didn't have much flavor. Maybe it's because I didn't have Sambal Oelek, I just added tabasco. However, I had also used a lot of extra garlic and tripled the curry powder, plus some added cumin. I still had to sprinkle more curry powder into each bowlful. In short, this is not really to my taste, but lots of others obviously love it, so I'd never say it's a bad recipe! :-D

Boy, is this soup good, its full of big bold flavours. Hot, spicy and fresh tasting. I used Eston lentils, thai red curry and habanaro sauce. This was quick and easy to make. It was tasty, filling and very, very satisfying. Thank you so much for sharing.

Tasty, simple and fast. Great combination. I used Garam Masala and hot pepper sauce as the seasonings and I also omitted the salt.

An easy, quick soup. I love curry! I cut it in half for myself and used roasted red chili paste (1/8 tsp - I was afraid of the heat, but next time will use 1/4 tsp.) Just a note: if you use brown or green lentils, the simmer time will be much longer, like 30-40 minutes. I usu. use red lentils anyways. Thanks, Boomette!
