  We didn't like this at all, it was bland and we didn't like the texture of the slightly purreed chickpeas either. We only finished it because it was too late in the evening to start making something else, would definitely not make again.

  Made this yesterday & only tasted a bit so far as my Husband came home & had a big bowl & has already said he wants the rest today! From what i tasted it was loveley. My Husband loves it. I added a little bit more Garam masala & also a chopped red chilli to give it bit more of a kick as we love spicy food in our house. I also added plenty of seasoning too as was a bit wary of it being bland from the previous comments, but i didn't think it was at all. Will be making again but more of it next time so i can get to have some!

  Excellent! I whizzed up the chick peas to try and disguise them as my family say they don't like them?? Other than that I left it as it was because I believe you cant critic a recipe if you change it.

  really nice idea, I had to add more spice though as following the recipe exactly was far too bland for my liking but i do love hot food! Added more garam masala, hot chilli powder, cumin, coriander and some tumeric. and also randomly a tbsp of ketchup aswell as a tsp of tomato puree as i find it gives a nicer after taste as just tomato puree can be a bit bitter. lovely soup though had popadoms with it :)

  I'll never try this again, even though the ideas of adding tomato paste, tumeric, corriander, etc sound like its saving grace.. bland is an understatement...

  I made it exactly as the recipe says to try it out. It was quite tasty and lightly spiced. I did use some very fresh garam masala though. I will make it again but may add some potato or lentils as I prefer soups thicker.

  We really didn't like this soup. We made the rosemary version, and it turned out really bland and watery - dreadful.

  Lovely! I double the amount of garam masala, added some hot chilli powder and finished with a squeeze of lime and chopped coriander.

  As others have said, this recipe is quite bland. I doubled the garam masala and used peas instead of green beans. I also found it quite watery hen using this amount of stock - It's OK but nothing to shout about unfortunately

  I didn't have garam masala so used a good spoon of mild curry powder. Also used the tomato puree and added diced potato and peas and seasoned with salt and pepper. Loved it. Will definitely make again.

  This was very nice. As previous posters have said this was bland I added a tsp each of ground coriander, cumin and hot chilli powder. I also added half a courgette because it was lying around! Lovely soup, filling and tasty.
