1. Video tutorial: Making soup

1. Put the curry powder into a large saucepan, then toast over a medium heat for 2 mins. Add the olive oil, stirring as the spice sizzles in the pan. Tip in the onions, apple, garlic, coriander stalks and ginger, season, then gently cook for 5 mins, stirring every so often.
2. Meanwhile, peel, then grate the sweet potatoes. Tip into the pan with the stock, lentils, milk and seasoning, then simmer, covered, for 20 mins. Blend until smooth using a stick blender. Stir in the lime juice, check the seasoning and serve, topped with roughly-chopped coriander leaves.

  Delicious. Perfect for lunch on a cold day. Did not enjoy the grating but will make this one again.

  Really really tasty - I agree with barney123 no need for all the grating, especially if the final product is being blended. I chopped the majority of ingredients and it still worked out well. Even my fussy 18month old enjoyed it. Def make again.

  This is lovely, i also agree there is no need for all the grating. In the end i only grated the apple, and the ginger and cut the potato into rounds about 1-1/2cm thick, as the soup is simmered the ingredients soften anyway and then it is blended so no need to go to all that trouble, plus i was dreading grating the onion, this i sliced thinly. I made this as my fella has this dreaded swine flu so wanted to give him some nice and healthy home comfort food. I will definitely be making this again.

  Perfect soup. Great taste and texture. No need to grate - just cut into small pieces. Full of healthy ingredients.

  Really tasty though I might add less stock next time as the blended soup as just a tad too thin for my liking. Will definitely make again.

  Very tasty soup. Didn't do any of the grating, just finely chopped everything and then blended. Will definitely make again.

  Made this soup for my husband who has a bad cold. Didn't quite have enough sweet potato so used some pumpkin as well. I didn't grate, just chopped. We both really enjoyed this soup and I would definitely make it again.
