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.

This is the second time I made this soup...this time I used chicken broth, about 4 cups and 2 cups of water instead of all water and it came out much tastier! I also finally found the yellow lentils (in an Indian store which don't keep their size like the brown lentils do, but I enjoyed the soup very much!! I also added turmeric in the butter mixture for health reasons! It certainly is a nice healthy soup!

I disliked this soup very much! It was very bland. I followed the recipe exactly. I could not taste the sweet potato, ginger, curry...or much of anything for that matter. I was very thick and chunky which would have been good had it tasted like anything!

Loved this recipe!
I had to change a few things:
- 6 cups of water was changed to: 4 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of water
- doubled curry powder in soup
- added fennel
- cooked garlic in the soup instead of in the butter
- used 3 tablespoons of butter and curry at end

I liked this soup a lot. Although I played fast and loose with the quantities of ingredients, the key for me was the butter/curry slurry at the end, as well as plenty of lemon juice and cilantro. Yum.

This was an okay recipe, but not great. While the ginger and curry stand out, the other ingredients such as sweet potato and leeks only seem to add body, not flavor. That seems like a waste of a good sweet potato!
