    Easy to make, very tasty. Next time I'd double the recipe so there was leftovers for lunch the next day! I agree with CatsDad, would be a lovely curry sauce with chicken.

    I love this. It has become a regular lunchtime favourite for me as its so quick and easy to make. I very rarely have fresh corriander so I add ground instead. Brilliant!

    This is a tremendous soup. The second time I softened the onions a little and added a fresh chilli pepper rather than flakes. This is my favorite lunch, its even better with chick peas.

    Fast to make delicious to eat. I sauteed the onions with the spices in a little oil for a few minutes before adding the stock & think this improves the recipe.

    Awesome soup, all time favourite! I am on a diet and have been looking out for low pointed, filling but tasty soup recipes and found that there isn't that many about. I did add 2 sticks of chopped celery and 4 whole garlic cloves to the recipe as I had them to use and thought it would bulk the soup up for no extra points. I have made many soups over the years and this is fabulous. Husband also totally loved it!

    I enjoyed the soup a lot. Excellent thing! Used 4 tbs of red lentil. this makes the soup thicker. Good recipe! Extremely easy.

    Great little recipe, so easy. I did however double the recipe but forgot to double the liquid. It worked well anyhow. I should image it would have been a bit watery if I hadn't have made this error. I do however prefer a thicker soup.

    Great recipe! I changed it quite a bit so thought it was worth sharing -- sauteed the onion in olive oil spray for 10 mins to soften, and added 1 tsp chopped garlic and 1/4 tsp minced ginger. skipped the garam masala and added 2 tsp of vindaloo paste instead (patak's) added about 3 tbsp of balsamic vinegar doubled the lentils Basically it tasted like vindaloo curry in a bowl!! DELICIOUS!

    Just made this for lunch and it is DELICIOUS. Definitely go with a spoonful of natural yoghurt with it as it complements the spices in the soup very well. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper and seasoned with some salt and black pepper too. Spice and lentil quantities were perfect for two ample sized portions. I will without doubt make this again and again! Yum.

    Made this as an urgent, out-of-time dish for the kids' (and my)dinner...well worth trying! I love it without yoghurt and the kids love it with. So quick and easy, you could skip on the chilli if your kids aren't keen. Thankfully, mine are! Give it a go!

    Doubled the lentils and didn't use the yoghurt, otherwise i followed the recipe and it's really lovely. Advise others not to skip the coriander as it gave the soup a lovely flavour. Will definitely make again.
