I'm a lentil and bean soup lover. I had two bowls of this and could easily have gone back for thirds. It's pretty mild, so I'd recommend going slightly heavier on the spices. But is still great as is!Этот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!

Just made this tonight for the family. It's delicious and satisfying. Next time I'm going to amp up the spices even beyond what John recommended though; I find it rather mild if you follow the directions precisely.Этот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!

11 марта 2013I want to try a lentil recipe to get familiar with it. I think this is a good candidate to start with. Thanks for sharing Nancy!
24 января 2009I made the dish last night. We all had seconds. I doubled the spice quantities. Just right for me. The end point color turned out more lentil brown than tumeric yellow that I had expected. Next time I would decrease the lentil quantity a little and cut back the cloves and add coriander. It could also use some garlic, one bay leaf, cayenne, a 1/2 cup of white wine, and a tablespoon of lemon juice at the end. I would also puree about about 3 cups of the soup after cooking and add back to improve the color and texture. More work, but it's worth it.
20 февраля 2009This will freeze very well. I double up though in packaging and it works well.
11 января 2009Just finished a big bowl and it was very tasty. I'm a wimp about spices so I stuck to the recipe. The next time I'll spice it up a bit. The only downside is that I will be eating lentil soup for days. Next time I'll cut the recipe a bit. Apologies in advance for a newbie question but any opinions on whether this will freeze well? Thanks.1 reply
Carol- 09 января 2009What an excellent day to see this recipe in Fargo, ND. I love to simmer a soup that fills the kitchen with warmth and good smells. I cheated with the spices - I'm allowed to season to taste aren't I - put in two heaping teaspoons of MaePloy Yellow Curry Paste from Thailand. Ingredients: Lemon Grass, Garlic, Shallot, Salt, Galangal, Dried Red Chili, Coriander Seeds, Kaffir Lime Peel, Cumin, Cinnamon, Mace, Tumeric and Cardamon - a lovely combo of spices. Good proportions of ingredients, and a long lasting filling food.
