Made this soup last week and it was incredible! Great left-overs for days. I used Giada's veggie stock in place of half of the water. I had never cooked with leeks before and they were delicious!

Wish I would have put more thought into this recipe and used vegetable stock. I will be trying to rescue this recipe from what it is currently, that is BLAND, boring, and totally flat flavored!!! I'm stuck with a whole crock-pot full....so i will be getting creative.

On the bonus- it can easily be made vegan (which I'm not, but do like to cook vegan.

Great recipe, although I knew soup needs more than water. I subbed in vegetable stock for 1/2 the water. Delicious!

Wish I would have read the reviews and used chicken stock but I still liked the soup. It has a very Indian flare to it. Couldn't find yellow or red lentils so I used brown and the only thing that did was make it a brownish color.

I just made this recipe and it turned out GREAT! Make sure to use chicken stock instead of water. I used 4 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups water.I also used 3 tblps of butter instead of 1,and a little bit more garlic . Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly .I would definitely make this again.

Based on previous reviews, I decided to liven this recipe up a little. I used more curry than called for, added turmeric, cayenne and a pinch of cinnamon. I also added more red lentils than the recipe called for by a half of a cup.
This was so delicious!!
I completely plan on making it again and again!

I did not care for this soup. Followed some of helpful hints below, but still thought it did not have a lot of taste. However, my biggest issue was the texture, I just found it unappealing, somewhere between chunks and puree.

I like the soup a lot. next time I will use some chicken broth instead of all water, and I think it will be even tastier. Used about half the amount of cilantro.

I did not have celery, so left it out. Made it in my pressure cooker.
Sauteed onion(1 large, did not have leeks, carrot, ginger,curry(2x, and sweet potato
before adding lentils and water. Added 1tbs chicken stock paste as well. Cooked
on low for 15min. Sauteed garlic slices in butter and added them with the cilantro and lemon juice. Salt to taste. This was excellent! Very flavorful and bright tasting.

Followed the recipe exactly, and all it tasted like was cilanto water. Couldn't taste the sweet potato or lentils. Ended up throwing it all out.
