This was one of those recipes that pleasantly surprised me (and everyone at my table). I wasn’t expecting much, just needed to use up my French green lentils and came across the recipe. But omg! It is so good! The flavor is unique and just so so so yummy. Served with some toasted naan, and everyone gobbled it up. Most went for seconds. Made it exactly as directed.

I sort of changed the recipe a bit i liquidated some spinach (therefore ALOT more spinach) as well as put chopped pieces in but i added basil to this ontop of that i used a full tin of coconut milk and half a tin of coconut cream im rating it a 4 star because of the combination of spices for this absolutely amazing! Oh plus suggestion ADD SOME CHILI

Added 2 carrots when carmelizing the onion which added both color and a bit of sweetness

So good! Added a carrot and used dried thyme like another reviewer suggested. Great for a cold New England night and fast enough to make after work.

This is such a warm and spicy dish. Perfect for fall. Do not skip on sauteeing the onions. They are necessary for the added depth of flavor.

Great... I lowered the Lentil amount in half as we really like brothy soup....It is a very comforting soup... I used lower fat coconut milk and it worked fine. Love Indian cuisine and it is very easy to make

The flavors in this soup are amazing and it’s very quick to make. I didn’t have cardamom so I used curry powder instead. I also subbed red lentils since that’s what I had in the cupboard. Will definitely make it again.

Amazing flavor! I used chicken stock instead of veggie. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly and served it up with some naan. Will definitely make again!

So good and so easy! I added carrots to the onion mixture, pinch of salt to the lentils, and a couple of dashes of cayenne to the herbs. So nourishing.

Very yummy. I’ve made this twice recently and enjoyed it both times. I used a 1/4 tsp thyme instead of fresh sprig since that’s all I had on hand. I also used a can of unsweetened coconut milk each time. I thought the simmering with lid off allowed it to thicken. I prefer adding the green (used baby spinach and baby kale) just prior to serving, otherwise if keeping in fridge for a couple of days it gets too soggy.

Yum I added more garlic cause I love garlic next time I would probably do 5 cups of veggie broth instead of six so it would be more stew like but again yum

Awesome! This is a great all-year-round soup. Hearty enough to be a main meal. I also experiment with adding other veg alongside spinach or chard.
