Not Exciting

Yesterday I had an inspired moment in which I thought, "Red lentils! Red lentils! What can I make with red lentils??" When I found this recipe, I was excited! Ooh! Exotic spices! Etc.! The results, however, were not exciting. First of all, the 2 qts. of water the recipe calls for makes TONS of soup! Beware. So now I have this un-exciting soup in lots of leftovers. It's also not a very attractive color. It tastes....alriiiiiight, but is a bit on the bland side. The tastes do not "pop" in your mouth, or send you hunting for more. Also, the proportions are just bizarre. Aside from the water thing, it calls for 2 med. or 1 large potato. This leaves you will very random, smallish (diced, as it calls for) pieces of potato floating around. They're like an afterthought - AND I added one extra, to make it look more congruous. Didn't really do the trick.

Despite all the spices, this was totally bland and flavorless. Very disappointing; I threw out the leftovers. Maybe chicken stock instead of water would have been a better choice.
delicious!

quick and easy. i'd never made anything with lentils, saffron, wheat berries... let alone a soup, but it was worth the risk! it's really hearty and perfect for a rainy evening. the saffron flavor was interesting. the flavor overall was a bit homogeneous, but i also had to cook it longer to soften the potatoes, so i'd bet that's why. long story short, this is going into my permanent collection of recipes!
