  1. Good and simple recipe for lentil soup. Used Spice Island curry powder and added some leftover brown rice to the pot as well. Used a home made chicken stock. The tomato paste gives it a nice color
     
  2. Delicious! I make a stock of this and freeze it and it works perfectly for my busy life. I also add in chickpeas for protein.
     
  3. Wow, super tasty! I used spicy curry powder and it needed no other spices or herbs. I also added a few cloves of garlic, upped the carrot, and didn't use the tomato paste or zucchini because I didn't have any. Also only used 4 cups of broth. Used green lentils--maybe 1/2 cup and then the Trader Joe's mix of barley, split peas and lentils--1/2 cup of that. Great way to use carrots and celery in your fridge!
     
  4. Quite good. Excellent use for all the broccoli stems left over after the florets are removed for another purpose. I chopped these fine with the carrots and onion, and the soup turned out well. Very filling and nutritious!
     
  5. Made today, on my first day of a gluten-free diet. I didn't have a carrot so subbed pumpkin, used 2 Massell vegetable stock cubes and a heaped tablespoon of gluten-free curry powder. Made as directed and shaved some parmesan over the top of my bowl and served a slice of toasted gluten-free bread on the side. Loved it! I feel healthier already and will portion up the remainder and freeze so that I have a quick lunch or dinner on hand. Thanks Jubes!
