it's quick and easy. flavors are simple but good

So yummy! I added another tablespoon of curry powder and decreased the tumeric to 1 tsp. I love this soup!

Took the advise of another reviewer and sautéed the onion, garlic, and ginger in coconut oil first, then added it to the pot. The website gives directions to make this on the stovetop as well as the crockpot. Due to music lessons and sports today, we did the crockpot method and it turned out great, just mixed all ingredients except the spinach and put it on low for 6 hours, then added the spinach at the end. Even my hardest-to-please kids loved it.

Good and easy. The coconut oil isn’t needed. To me it made it taste heavier than need be. I’ll make it again without the oil.

Delicious soup!
I sautéed the onion/garlic/coconut oil for a few minutes before adding to pot.
Otherwise followed recipe as written.
Fantastic, hearty, well rounded lentil soup. Thank you!

This hit the spot! Best lentil soup I've made. Reheated leftovers was still comforting and delicious

Excellent soup! The whole family loves this.

It came out really good.

Perfect, this is a great recipe, if you sauté the onions, garlic, ginger, lentils lightly, with spices, add liquids parts of recipe, and preasure cook for 7 to 10 min, it will turn out great. 5 star 🌟 and heart healthy.

I used too much cumin by mistake (glasses were upstairs) and used celery seed instead of celery stalks. I also didn't use coconut milk to cut down on the calories. I had to add more curry and tamarind to balance off the cumin. Turned out great with those adjustments. I will make it again with my glasses on!

This is delicious; even my husband who isn’t a lentil fan loved it! The red lentils soak up the liquid and get mushy making it into more of a stew than a soup. I recommend serving it over a bed of rice.

Loved this, exactly what I was hoping it’d be. Used two 15 oz. cans diced tomatoes (no salt added), 1 can regular full fat coconut milk (unsweetened) + 1/3 can lite coconut milk, 2.5 cups vegetable broth, 2 handfuls julienned carrots (time saver), 2 generous handfuls spinach (chopped w scissors, stirred in very last). Sautee all the hard vegetables in the oil w a little vegetable broth, adding the garlic and ginger at the end. Then dump in remaining ingredients (minus spinach) and stir. High pressure 5 min w quick release. Just used immersion blender to consistency preference versus taking out two cups to blend and stir back in. Serve w naan bread or rice. You could actually serve this over rice it’s thick enough. Or, stir in some shirataki noodle rice. A little sriracha stirred in works well, too. Froze some of the batch for later.

This soup is average at best. Indian spices are never just dumped into a curry or soup, they need to be toasted first. Instant pots have a sauté function that would be useful to cook the onions, ginger and garlic in the spices before adding the other ingredients. You could even “toast” the lentils at this stage to help bring out their earthy flavour.
There is definitely room for improvement

Turned out great, I used 2 C of green lentils, that’s what I had. I would agree to increase the cook time, purée 2 scoops for a creamy texture. I also sub hot madras curry powder because that was what I had. Can’t wait to try this again, even the 13 month old liked it.

My wife and I love this soup! The bonus is that it cooks quickly in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, but we did change a few minor cooking steps. First, when we cooked the soup a second time, we changed the cooking time from 5 minutes to 7 minutes. Also, we creamed 2 ladles of soup in the blender as opposed to 1 for a creamier texture, and finally, we added 3 cups of chopped spinach to the soup instead of 2 and 1 1/2 teaspoon of pink salt vs 1. This soup is absolutely wonderful!

The taste is brilliant and flavorful! The lentils however, weren’t quite as soft as I wanted it. I wanted to cook it a bit longer, but the food kept burning to the bottom. Not sure if the cook time was due to that or if the stew quickly thickened after I opened the pot. I’ll have to cook it longer next time. Other than that it was great!

Was really good and creamy!!! I will definitely put this in my favorite recipe collection. The coconut oil and coconut milk give this soup a great flavor. The canned tomatoes give the soup a great texture. I also didn’t have a regular blender, so I used my bullet. l didn’t have carrots or spinach but still taste so yummy!

A really nice twist to a classic soup. Yummylicious

Great - very hearty and filling. I added potato, and used cilantro as a garnish.

Super tasty! I used the immersion blender instead of a regular blender to save time washing another dish. Love this recipe and experimenting with different lentils in this dish.

Absolutely delicious! Needed more soup stock as it got too thick - flavours amazing. Will be added to my regular soups from now on. Fills you up too!
