This was an incredibly beautiful soup to look at but could have been so much better. There is so much curry in this that it overwhelms the taste of anything else ( I used the hot pepper according to my taste so that was not interfering with the taste in any way) so that all you taste is curry. I would have enjoyed this more with alot less curry so that I would actually be able to taste the vegetables, the cumin, etc. I'm sure this would be wonderful with the spice adjustments as suggested.

I followed this recipe to the letter and really didn't think that it was as spicy as advertised. Perhaps I am just used to spicy food. All in all, I recommend it. It's a good easy recipe

So good! I used 1 tablespoon oil to saute the onions. Lentils are quick cooking so I made it stove top. Added thyme and a bay leaf. Lots of black pepper. Thanks.

Loved the recipe. I added 2 onions, 2T. Crushed red pepper flakes, 4 carrots and a half a peeled, chopped yam. I also used beef broth instead of vegitable broth. Husband like it...surprise. Thanks, Harlan

We really liked this soup. Made as directed with just a tad more spice than directed. Very good, and freezes really well. I used a stick blender and pulsed it several times to vary the texture a little. Thanks for sharing!

I have this cookbook, and this is by far my favorite recipe! It's sooo good!!! I put half the red pepper b/c I'm a wimp. Still wonderful!

Made this pretty much as written (omitted the cayenne). Didn't say what kind of lentils so I used red. Nice amount of heat but i like spicy. Tasted great the second day too. Made a lot, froze some.

We loved this soup!! I added extra curry powder, and left out the crushed red pepper flakes. Great, thanks.
