I just made this soup for dinner and it was delicious! I added a couple of small peeled, chopped potatoes . I didn't use feta garnish for total vegan meal and it was perfect. The easy Garam Masala recipe from Kitchen Barbarian was a life saver for quick use. Thanks Read More

Mmmmm! I wish I would have made a grilled cheese to go with this! A nice change from the usual tomato soup. The spices are perfect. I made the recipe exactly as written, except I was unsure whether to use dry or cooked lentils. I decided to go with cooked, and used a pack of Melissa's steamed lentils (about 1.5 cups - I used the whole package). It's not til after I made the soup that I decided to check ChefJorge's personal version of the recipe and I saw that he calls for DRIED/UNCOOKED lentils. This was omitted in the editing process. I imagine cooking the dry lentils in the broth would thicken the soup a bit. Mine was a little thin, but definitely not a bad thing. The flavor was amazing and I'll definitely be making this one again. I loved the added tang of the lemon, and saltiness of the feta. YUM! Thank you ChefJorge for the delicious recipe! Read More

I followed the recipe but didn't have garam masala. At first the aroma seemed a bit weird and strong so I didn't serve it to some friends. A few days later my husband and I had it and it was great! Spicy but not too much. I used brown lentils since that is all I had so it had to be cooked longer but it was very tasty! Read More

Excellent recipe - definitely a keeper! This is a very flavorful dish. Sweet-sour-spicy=yum! Only thing I added was more tomatoes and a few more lentils and I always add Asian fish sauce to all my soups/stews for an umami boost (personal preference). Nature's MSG. I thinned mine with V-8 but tomato juice or more broth would work well too. PS make your own garam masala blend. Read More

Very tasty. I'd add a little more spice and maybe a little more salt. A little chili garlic sauce did the trick for that. But I like spicy food so that's just me. Very solid recipe. Read More
