Spiced carrot & lentil soup

The taste itself was good but had a very odd texture. I don't think the carrots blended well enough, which could be a fault of my immersion blender or maybe they needed to cook down more before I blended

Quick, easy, delicious

I didn’t bother grating the carrot - I puree all my soups with a hand blender anyway. Very tasty soup - I had a teaspoon of clear honey to give a bit of sweetness.

Instant pot, but no milk. Just used sprinkle of cumin. Added milk/herbs when serving.

This is pretty good, but a bit bland so needs some tweaking. I tried adding some onion at the end by sautéed half a diced onion on the side and blended that in too. That helped, as did the toasted spices on top. Tried a little harissa powder too based on another comment which gave it a bit more kick and was pretty good. Maybe I should just add more of all the spices next time. It was good with some paneer stuffed paratha too. Used a food processor to grate all the carrots - we doubled the recipe and it was too much to do by hand. I forgot to photograph, but it looks pretty much the same as the cover photo!

Easy and tasty - needed some additional spices. I added onions and harissa.

Meh. Added garlic, onion, curry powder, paprika, cayenne, and garam masala as well as chopped red chili's and nutritional yeast but still not really crazy about this. I garnished with Greek yogurt, TVP and some pumpkin seeds. It's edible but I wouldn't make again. I have to imagine it's pretty bad if you make as the recipe dictates.

Based on other comments I added chopped onion and garlic. I also changed the spices to garam Masada, curry and red pepper flakes. It was delicious with tons of flavor

Very easy and so tasty. I don't even like carrots but it is tasty!

Added two teaspoons of curry powder and served with chili oil drizzle.

Added garlic!

I wasn't a fan.

ngl made as the recipe intends it doesn't taste that great, but I added onion, garlic and paprika and it's 🤌🏻

Needed more chili flakes, pepper and curry powder to add more flavour. It is tasty and very filling.

added tumeric, sage, basil and cinnamon as well

I made it but to be honest, it was too sweet for me. Any tips?

Add more spices to make it more flavorful

Great foundation to build your preferred spices onto. We added a lot of extra flavour and used an instant pot to sauté then soup mode for 15 min. Excellent!

I added onions and garlic and let them cook with the carrots and spices for a little while before adding the lentils and broth. Simple, delicious, comforting meal.

So much better with a little ginger and lime juice 🥰

not a big fun of cumin seeds so did powder as well and it was nice added some other spices too so it wouldnt be plain

Tasty, easy, and comforting. Blended half because I enjoy the texture of lentils!

Easy and delicious!

Made it and added onion, garlic and chicken bouillon I also think curry powder and plant cream it was delish!

Milk and yogurt does not go with lentils. Also just chili flakes and no dominant spices does not flavor it properly. There are also no onions and real spicy chilis. In the ingredients, naan does not go with lentils, you need rice to soak up the lentils.

It was bland, I added the garlic and pepper that someone suggested. It was still bland. Maybe some onions would help, but you shouldn't have to work that hard to save a recipe.

bland, added garlic and pepper not bad!

Definitely would eat again. Nice and substantial.

Loved it!!!

I added garlic, onion, pepper (spice), marjoram and it was delisious!!

Soooo delicious and simple! It had such a warm and cozy feeling, perfect for autumn weather. Definitely will make again.

Packed full of Proteins and warmth 😃

Very good!

This was so good, and very easy! My toddler enjoyed it too, which is always a plus 😊

Really tasty, super easy. Shoved it all into my instant pot and clicked the soup setting. Then I added the milk, blended and voila!

Next time, I would add some chopped sautéed onion and run the soup through a fine sieve.

Added spinach and paprika. Turned out great!

Fantastic, recipe seems too simple, but it works. I decided to make it for lunch, all done in about 90 minutes.

I used some rice vinegar, coconut milk and cilantro - and think this was even better.

Added Marsalis, turmeric, brown, onion, lime juice ( at end when spinach was wilted) ginger and corrainder

I used skim milk

I added onion, garlic and ginger. And at the end a bit of sausages. No yogurt for me, i didn't like it

Made in the slow cooker on high for 3hrs, fantastic

A add a small pumpkin 🎃 to de recepie!

Skipped the yogurt, used coconut milk and added a bit five-spices. Tastes good!

Better than I expected. Added cinnamon and allspice, garnished with salad seed mix.

Delicious! Everyone in the family loved it and it freezes and reheats well. Tasty with Irish soda bread.

It was okay but I wouldn't make it again.

I used the slow cooker method with coconut milk

Really easy to make. I chopped up a mix of nuts and seeds and dry fried them to add to the topping. And as per picture, added some fresh coriander.

I added more chilli flakes on top, it's pretty spicy

I used light coconut milk which added a nice flavor to the soup.

Delicious! I coarsely chopped the carrots in our ninja blender instead of grating them. The dollop of yogurt adds a nice taste as does topping with red pepper flakes! This is a nice healthy soup to have on hand for lunches! I’m not sure why my review is showing as thumbs down. I selected thumbs up - this will be a fall/winter staple for us!

This was tasty and very filling. I added ginger and garlic and sprinkled parsley on top. There is a huge difference between still chunky and blended. Oh I put milk in blender too.

Milk att the end, as parsnip and/or potatoes

Used coconut milk and extra spices - garlic, ginger, smoked paprika. Delicious!

Excellent ! J'ai rajouté du persil, de la coriandre et une gousse d'ail, ainsi que de la crème au lieu du lait

Added additional spices like the comments mentioned

Added fresh ginger and garlic for more flavour

Added small amount of brown sugar, salt , pepper and lime juice

Omitted the milk/coconut milk and it was delicious

I followed other reviewers’ suggestions of adding more flavor with garlic, ginger, spices (garam masala), and letting it simmer longer after it was blended. The recipe will be another option to my soup rotation.

So easy, made or loads of times and always a winner

there is no information in the instructions? so i don't know hot to make it...anyone can help?

I’ve made this loads of times. My son loves it and has it for his school packed lunch. The secret to get good flavour is once it’s been blitzed then simmer the soup for ages. Until it thickens. - 20 or 30 mins.

Needs onion garlic and ginger fried first and some garam masala at end with some fresh herbs parsley or coriander

Bland AF Needed more seasoning, ginger, garlic etc

Hard Pass, unless you love the taste of carrots alone, I would skip on this soup.

Awesome little recipe!

the vegetable broth with the cumin seeds and chilli flakes isn’t enough seasoning imo, had to add some other spices and lemon but overall very simple and tasty

Used baby carrots then blended
