  My husband absolutely loves this dish! I added some garlic as well and I think this soup is slowly evolving into more of a stew; served with crusty bread a great and warming mea that's superb for lunch the next day as well.

  I made a few little additions to this, I doubled the quantity of everything except the stock, which I just increased to 1ltr. I added garlic and a tin of chopped tomatoes, and as I didn't have chilli flakes I used a little squirt of chilli paste instead. And it was blinkin' lovely!!! Even my 2 and a half year old twins loved it!! Will definitely be a regular on the menu for winter!!!

  Very Nice, enjoyed by all, added a couple of cloves of garlic and ommited the olive oil as the chorizo releases enough oil's when cooked.

  Just made this for lunch with what I had available. No carrots or celery and it tasted really good. The great thing is you can adapt it with more or less liquid/lentils/chickpeas etc to get the texture you like. If only I had some crusty bread!

  Forgot to mention that I also added chopped garlic and omitted the oil as chorizo is oily enough on its own ;)

  Great hassle-free recipe - rustled it up as an emergency lunch and substituted celery for some half slices of courgette - added later in the cooking so they didn't go to pulp. Also added 4 fresh peeled and chopped homegrown tomatoes along with the stock, as overwhelmed with them, and these worked well. Suggest the quantity this soup makes is more appropriate for 3 people than 4 - or are we just greedy! It does thicken up though, so can add more stock to make it go further.

  Came across this yesterday after putting in Chorizo and lentils into the search engine! As usual GF provided me with another excellent recipe which I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't have any celery in but had everything else and it was a wonderful lunch and would also make a hearty meal with some nice, fresh bread! Yum!

  I use Tesco Finest Chorizo in this recipe as I absolutely love it. Has anyone got a favourite Chorizo that they use as I would love to try some different ones? I used leeks instaed of celery as I am not a big fan of celery, only thing is the leeks tend to absorb the stock so had to use a bit more. Absolutely delicious and filling, this is a whole meal in itself.

  I mixed this recipe with my family's favourite Chorizo & Chickpea soup recipe (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2628/chorizo-and-chickpea-soup). Instead of 750ml stock I added a tin of chopped tomatoes (400ml) and 350ml of stock. I also left out the celery and added finely shredded savoy cabbage. Absolutely lovely. Think I'll add all kinds of left-over veg next time I make it.
