  Good flavor and simple to make, but needs an extra something to make it great.

  This was delicious! I added 5 cloves crushed garlic and used whole green Puy lentils rather than split, to avoid it turning to mush and to give it a 'meatier' taste. I also used a whole tsp chilli flakes. Next time I would perhaps add more cumin but it's a really hearty, filling, substantial soup, more of a stew really. I love the idea of roasting the veg first, it really gives you something substantial to chew on. This will definitely be on my regular favourites list.

  This is an excellent recipe, I wasn't a fan of root vegetables until I tried this soup.

  I loved this soup. The pinch of flaked chilli is great for winter warmth. Changes: I blended it until completely smooth. Good for diabetics.
