  Absolutely stunning! Made double the quantity and just doubled all the ingredients. Only addition is that I added 2 chopped celery stickes and a chopped fresh red chilli. DON'T miss the lime out as this is what makes this soup go from ordinary to something special! Will definately make again.

  Excellent recipe! Great tasting & very easy to make. I've doubled this recipe on several occassions. Don't forget to add the lime, it gives the soup a different lift. And if you are feeling brave add an extra pinch of chilli flakes!

  5 stars for simplicity/flavour/healthiness. Just made this with my children, extremely quick and easy, and liked by all. Omitted lime and just added a splash of lemon juice instead. Used a quick shake of cayenne pepper instead of chilli flakes for a smoother texture and added a teaspoon of sugar to enhance the tomato flavour. Used heaped tablespoons of lentils after reading comments about the soup being thin, and an extra carrot (we also doubled up all the ingredients), and our version turned out nice and thick. Highly recommended for a quick autumnal soup fix that most people would have the ingredients for already.

  Love this simple recipe, the lime juice really finished if off. I added some extra chilli powder and a dash of hot sauce, as I like things with a kick. Cheap, low fat and so quick to make, made double the batch and froze for packed work lunches. I didn't grate the carrot either, just chopped and blitzed with the hand-held food processor once cooked.

  This soup is terrific. Really lovely. Add a few extra lentils to thicken it and you can use chilli and cumin powder instead of flakes/seeds to get the same results. It's healthy but tasty. What a rare and wonderful thing! ;-)

  I also found this too thick so added about another 500ml of vegetable stock. Therefore added another onion and carrot. Loved the addition of lime. Served with rosemary focaccia - really tasty combination. We debated whether this replaced the spiced lentil soup (also on BBCgoodfood.com) as our new favourite and it split the family down the middle. Must be a winner!

  Lovely. Works nicely with a dash of balsamic as well.
