I found this recipe needed double the stock (2 Lt)I also upped the spices to 1 tsp of both cummin and corriander and 1 Tbs curry powder. A very flavoursome and easy to prepare soup, thanks for sharing!! Even though I made slight changes I'm still going to award it 5 stars because the whole family ate it...which makes it a winner in my book!
