This is a great, warming and healthy soup packing lots of veggies. I halved the recipe with ease and omitted the oil and used non-stick cooking spray instead to cut out the fat. I added a generous amount of salt and pepper and had to add additional stock but otherwise did not change a thing.

Winter is just around the corner,coming so early this year.Heater's on and I had some soaked lentils,that I use to make a Middle Eastern rice dish. I liked that I could just throw in the veggies at once . I used a Japanese curry powder.Very much enjoyed.

Oh my my my - this one is going in my favorite recipes of 2010! Instead of doing this on the stove, I threw everything into crockpot (except olive oil), subbing 2T tomato paste in place of a tomato. I really loved the flavors of the veggies and curry combined with the sweet apples. YUM!

Very tasty! My husband and I both enjoyed it very much and are happy there are leftovers. Sometimes lentil soups seem to be dominated by the lentils but this had a great balance and variety of flavors in every bite. Definitely a winner! I substituted a can of diced tomatoes for the fresh tomato since I didn't have fresh available.
