  Just made this to use up some old carrots - had all other ingredients in store cupboard, easy to make, tastes great, some left for freezer, and didn't separate as carrot soup often does.

  Lovely recipe. I added 3 teaspoons of harissa paste which gave the soup just enough heat. It was quite thick though: I think I'd add a 1/4 more stock next time.

  Fantastic, easy recipe! Instead of just red lentils, I used half a pack of Waitrose Love Life Soup mix which was a combination of about 10 different beans and pulses (I only pre soaked for about 4 hours). That gave the soup a heavier feel so no need for Naan or Yoghurt. Also, no need to whiz.

  I love this soup but I've always liked lentil soup. Although I didn't put in the spices it still tasted lovely, and my Husband doesn't like lentils so I get to eat it all to myself !

  Really enjoyed this soup. I also used ground cumin which I thought worked well. I will try dicing the carrots and cooking them in the stock next time - instead of grating. The soup is liquidised so I don't think it will change the taste and it will make it even quicker to make!

  Managed to burn the chilli flakes (as the cumin seeds weren't popping yet), maybe it' because I'm using 'crushed chilli'. Not sure if that's different... Apart from that it looks good though :)

  Just made it now, as per the recipe but I excluded the cream at the end and didn't reserve the cumin i just left it all in, lovely. Will certainly make it again.

  Easy to make, great to eat. I fried 1 small onion to start with and used ground cumin as I didn't have cumin seeds - it tasted lovely and I'll make it again!
