    This soup is hearty and delicious! However, I did make some adjustments. I added the juice of 1 and a 1/2 lemons and added more salt to taste. That did the trick and solved the bland problem. I was also generous with the curry powder, garlic, and cilantro.

    I liked this recipe. Although I did not use the lemon wedges and leeks. I just didnt think the lemon would be a good taste with it and the leeks just didnt matter. Otherwise my soup turned out pretty good. It was a pleasant surprise. I thought lentils and yams would be a little weird. :-

    Delicious!

    I was very hesitant to make this soup based on all the negative reviews. I used 4 cups chicken stock and 2 cups water. Otherwise I made it exactly as written. I thought it was delicious! It tasted like soup that would be served at an Indian restaurant.

    I did use an immersion blender to blend the soup after it finished cooking.

    Its definitely a keeper for me, I will be making it again and again.

    I followed the recipe and it was horrible...I left for the day and when we got back we could smell a strong curry putrid water dirty stink smell . The first thing my nephew said was somethings smells funny. He was right, I promptly threw it out. I'm a good cook and I decided to make this since I had everything on hand....boy I was wrong about this one. So now my sister in law thinks I'm a horrible cook and sent a soup cook book for Christmas.

    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!
