  Delicious, easy and cheap. Left out the lime juice because I thought it was acidic enough and served it with a swirl of creme fraiche. Delicious light lunch or dinner, great for a Monday after a weekend of indulgence

  Fantastic soup. Not vegetarian in my version because I used the stock I cooked a joint of gammon in. Tasted it before adding the lime and it was nice but the zest and juice of the lime added the magic.

  Nice flavour but where was the cumin in the ingredient list? I added a pinch but it would have been nice to have it listed in case I should have added more!

  Just made it, I used fresh ginger instead of chili flakes, it came out wonderful! Will definitely make it again.

  Made this today for lunch. Added half a teaspoon of ground cumin and found it was enough. Had to thin the soup as mine was extremely thick, I used green lentils.

  Very tasty, the lime made this soup. I added half a teaspoon of ground cumin and this was good for me. I will definately make this again.

  I see they have added the cumin seeds to the ingredients list now which was missing before. I don't think the lime added anything to this soup so if you haven't got one, don't let it put you off making it anyway.

  Loved this soup, especially as it's very healthy. My only complaint is that it was too watery. I always follow the instructions expcept adding stock, blend and then add stock afterwards to get the consistency right.

  this soup was amazing! Used ground cumin instead of seeds and added an extra 100ml of stock. Tasted it before adding the lime and it was nice but the lime took it to another level! Don't omit the chilli flakes either, the zing of the lime and the slight kick of the the chilli make this soup fantastic!

  Delicious, easy and super cheap (the only ingredients we didn't already have in the cupboard were the carrot, onion and can of tomatoes = £1 per head!) I agree that this comes out quite thick at the end but that's a positive for me. Also no need to grate the carrot, I just chopped it and after the light blitzing at the end, the consistency was perfect. Used the juice and lemon of half a lime. Lovely.

  A lovely soup! My bf doesn't even like lentils but he really liked this! I didn't have quite enough carrots so I added a few tomatoes - worked a treat!

  What a delicious and healthy soup - makes a difference from the usual vegetable! I added a courgette to it once which also worked well and have never used the lime yet although think this would really compliment the soup. I put a dollop of green basil pesto in it too which went well.

  Really good soup, just used a half a lime and it was just right, also used ground cumin by mistake but it was still good, didn't realise it was for 2 so will make double next time.
