  This is such an easy soup to make and the whole family eats it happily. The orange juice sweetens it and adds to the lovely colour. (Don't be put off by the picture. I whizz it smooth and leave out the yoghurt and coriander garnish.)

  Ditch the orange juice and make up the rest of the liquid with stock. Replace half the carrot with sweet potato for depth of flavour. Yum...

  very nice, i left out the yogurt, nice and light soup suitable for summer with a nice fresh bread roll. For winter i would probably add some roasted butternut squash to give a bit more flavour and maybe a touch of chilli.

  I used green lentils which did nothing for the colour, and I didn't get much of the carrot flavour coming through, although that may be due to the typ of lentils as well. However, it was a very nice, spiced soup. Great with crusty bread

  This is a really tasty soup, low in fat and calories but you wouldn't think so. The cumin and coriander really add flavour and warmth. I used half the amount of orange juice and made it up with stock as I was worried it would be too orangy, but I think I could've used more.

  Best soup ever, so easy to make, and deliciously tasty! My 3 year old twins are licking their bowls as I type!!! I add more carrot, about 350g in total, and leave out the yogurt and garnish, although I've tried it with it and its still yummy. I take it into work for lunch sometimes and I can see all my colleagues sniffing the air!!

  I made it and it was nice but way to orangy. Will try it next time with less orange but if it's still to orangy what should I add to dull that a little?

  I left out the yogurt, corriander and paprika garnish and made a double batch so as to freeze some. Unfortunately not much got frozen!! Doubled ingredients bar the stock, only put in 1 1/2 so it was nice and thick. Very yummy soup and quite filling too. Perfect for winter evening, or summer if you really like soup (",)
