I made this exactly as written and was quite disappointed. The flavors just didn't seem to go together, it didn't have a pleasing taste. I was expecting it to have a hint of sweetness from the sweet potatoes but it wasn't at all. I would not make it again as written, but I like the idea of using lentils and sweet potatoes in a soup. Thanks anyways.

This is a tasty, inexpensive, easy soup that makes a hearty meal when served with cheddar biscuits or cornbread. In addition to sweet potatoes, I've also made it with a mixture of sweet potatoes and turnips.

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).

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.
