  I use 75g of lentils, 1tsp of cumin seeds, 1 tsp of ground ginger, 1/2tsp of chilli flakes and 1cm of easy coriander after blending. I prefer to leave the lime out. The soup tastes great!!

  Loved it! Pretty color, nice flavors and very healthy. Season to taste - I doubled the cumin, ginger, and chile. This paired nicely with the roasted cauliflower and red onion recipe also on this site.

  Very nice soup. I made it without the chilli flakes for a starter when we had parents in law over for dinner last night. It was lovely with fresh baked warm rolls. I will definitley be making it again for myself. :-)

  Should the lentils be soaked overnight beforehand?

  Shame this recipe doesn't say how many it serves, I assumed 4 and it was the right amount. Probably needs more stock than it says as I found it boiled away (might just be my hob), but this was definitely one of the best soups I've made. Lovely warming spicy taste.

  Me and my boyfriend love, love, love this soup. He takes it to work for lunch at least once a week. I normally leave out the ginger, but i dont think this takes anything away from the flavour. Very simple and so quick to make - keeps for ages too and freezes really well.

  So easy and delicious. I doubled up everything apart from the stock, and it made a really thick, substantial soup. Finished with lardons fried (with no extra oil) till crispy.

  Lovely, delicious, tasty soup - but it only made 1andaquarter pints (or 11 soup ladlesful) and that's not enough for this family of four! Would def make again - but would need to double the amount of stock and thicken up with potatoes.

  I love this recipe! It's easy and inexpensive, as well as healthy and hearty. My daughter is vegetarian, so we've all become vegetarian :-) I made this soup for a fun social function at our church (Guess Who's Coming To Lunch) and had no idea who would be eating this soup. When everyone came they loved it, so I think it's a hit! I added a couple of sweet potatoes that I had lying around, and they added a nice sweetness and smooth texture. Thanks, BBC Good Food!

  Great simple recipe. I used stock that I had from boiling a Gammon roast for Christmas, and also added a celery stick. Finished up with a dollop of creme fraiche and chilli flakes and fresh chopped corriander sprinkled on top. Very tasty.

  Lovely and very easy to make. Only had 90 grams of Lentins so added a couple of extra carrots which gave it a lovely consistency when blitzed!

  Such a tasty, quick and simple soup! Me and my 2year old son enjoyed it very much. Although I omitted the chilli to suit his palette.
