I like some spice and I don't like a strong tomato flavor, so I used 2 TBSP tomato paste and 1 TBSP harissa. It added a bit of warmth and brightness, would definitely do the same again. I used 2 carrots, 1 sweet potato and a tiny butternut squash. Leave the onion and garlic in for sure.

I substituted 1 of the teaspoons of tomato paste with Harissa and added a teaspoon of cumin. Added zest of 1 lemon with five minutes remaining and stirred in the juice when it finished cooking.

Balances sweetness of the veg. So good. This is a really easy and delicious recipe! Last time I made it, I made a DOUBLE batch and changed the flavor profile by adding 3 chipotle peppers in adobo, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, and some dried oregano.

Really quite delicious. I topped it with some feta cheese and a splash of lemon juice to brighten it. I liked this but thought it was a little lacking in flavor so added a dollop of Harissa paste and that kicked it up a notch.

Not sure why it says to remove the onions and garlic, I think it would be better with them. Next time I'll dice the onions instead of adding the halves. is a fabulous recipe. Hearty, healthy, and really not difficult to make.

Fast, healthy and easy, but dull. It's just lentil soup with squash. I like lentil soup well enough, but I had hoped for something with more interesting flavors.

Perfectly good stew. Never been sorry. Chopped an onion and a half and sautéd in two tablespoons of olive oil first. The cilantro completely broke apart and pretty much dissolved which was fine. I more or less doubled all the spices and added two teaspoons of cumin which it needed.

I also added a parsnip and will next add celery. Ugh, this soup was bland, not at all what I would have expected given the complex flavors. Probably wouldn't make again,. I made this just as directed and, while the subtle flavors were wonderful, it was just too bland.

The advice of putting in chipotles and cumin was great. The only drawback is that the subtle flavors got overwhelmed. Oh well. Pick them out one by one if you can even find them? What am I missing here? Why would you want to remove them in the first place?

But I bet it was better because of it. Add another garlic clove, celery, harissa? Could dice the onion and leave it in. Super easy, yummy and flavorful! I just chopped the onion, garlic and cilantro and left it in there.

I sautéed the onion and garlic for a bit before adding everything else to soften it. Added cumin, 1 chili pepper. Good, hearty stew. Nice way to use pumpkin.

that little pinch of saffron was magical! The rest of the spicing was delicious, too, but the safrom was magical. Loved this soup. We left the onion and garlic to cook until the end. We also used coriander instead of fresh cilantro. We used less turmeric and tomato paste than called for.

Simply delicious! Why would anyone EVER throw away cilantro? Include it chopped up or just leave it out and enjoy it elsewhere. This was fabulous! Easy, flavorful, rich, and comforting. And healthy! My two kids loved it. DO leave the garlic and onion in.

Will make again. Oh no! Was so upset about tossing cilantro. Leave it all in or just make something else! Good recipe base. Soak the lentils beforehand.

For more depth of flavor roast the onions and garlic over a gas burner or open fire. Adds umami. Adding konbu algae also helps reduce the gassiness some people experience with legumes.

The konbu doesn't negatively affect the flavor. If you don't like spicy just add a little of the ancho. A really beautiful addition. Softly boil lentils until soft. Bon Appétit. Made a version of this - more garlic, kept onion and garlic in, no saffron, cilantro, or ginger, added smoked paprika and replaced 1T tomato paste with harissa, as others noted.

Added a lot of parsley at the end. Also, I sautéed the onion, garlic, and sweet potato for a bit in oil before adding the water and everything else- always helps to bring out the flavor. Total Time 1 hour. You can cook them separately in water or stock and add them to your dish cooked.

They can be used in a salad like my super easy lentil salad. Short on time? You can also cook your lentils in a pressure cooker if you have one. This speeds up the process and you can avoid having to soak them beforehand. The flavour will be slightly different.

Made this today in my slow cooker. So nice to come home after a long 10 hour work day and have a warm bowl of stew waiting! Awesome recipe! So happy to hear that! Sounds like the perfect way to finish up a long work day.

Thanks for sharing 🙂. This is precisely the way Greek people make lentil soup and I, too, have had it all my life. Some people boil the lentils in a little water for a minute in a small pot and strain them before adding to the soup.

It gives it a slightly different flavour. For those who are vegetarian, a little feta cheese and a few olives on the side with this soup is wonderful. Skip to content Jump to Recipe.
