Very good soup. I used cumin instead of curry. Even though its been in the 90's this last week, I work in an office that is kept ice-box cold, so I enjoy soups for lunch. This soup is one that I will make often. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is a delightful soup; I really enjoyed all of the flavors. The curry and harissa really kicked it up a notch. Thanks for sharing! ZWT9

This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, filling, and is full of flavor. I used part curry powder and part cumin for the spice. We like spicy food, and enjoyed it with quite a bit of hot pepper paste! Made for Mike and the Appliance Killers ZWT9.

This was a fast, tasty soup that was a change of pace from normal lentil soup. I had no idea that red lentils cook so much quicker! I used 1 large onion, and a mixture of carrots and celery. I also used the curry powder, which really gave this a nice, full flavor. It also smelled delicious while cooking. I didn't have harissa, so I used Sambal Oelek. I didn't know how much to use, so I added a teaspoon, which seemed to be enough. It really packed a lot of heat. I would say that this soup is thinner than I would have liked, and I think I would use less stock the next time. Thanks for sharing this tasty soup. Made for Spring PAC 2013.

I pretty much followed the recipe on down using your suggestions on the ingredients (also using vegetable stock) & the soup was wonderfully flavorful & satisfying! With ones this easy to make, I do believe that lentil soup will fit into my rotation of soups very nicely! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
