  This has the potential to be a really nice soup, but as the recipe stands it is too thin, I had to put two tins of pulses in to give it more substance and when I do it again I would reduce the amount of stock to about 750ml.

  This is a great soup. I make it often but as its difficult to find canned mixed beans here I tend to use only red kidney beans unless I have soaked and cooked beans for another recipe.

  I used 1/2 tsp red curry paste in place of the garam masala and only added 750 ml stock as my flatmate prefers thicker soups. Yum!

  Very easy and very tasty. I followed the recipe pretty closely and did not find the soup too watery. The quantity of beans seemed about right, although when I put them in I was worried there was not enough. Our soup bowls are tall with a small base so the beans congregate nicely at the bottom. It may not be the same if you use a shallow soup bowl.

  I eat a lot of soups so it's nice to find recipes with a bit of a difference. I used full fat coconut and just had less of it, it was very satisfying and delicious. I also added a sprinkle of chilli flakes to give it a kick.

  Probably the best soup recipe I've tried. Will be even nicer in deepest winter! I added a few chili flakes which gave a nice warm taste. I didn't find it too thin at all, once blended it was the perfect consistency.

  I have exactly the same comment as Belkey above, I found this was very thin, so I used a tin each of cannelini and kidney beans, which helped a bit, but next time I will reduce the stock to probably 650-700ml. Otherwise, pretty nice little recipe!
