I tripled this recipe for a large New Year's Day open house. The soup simmered a long time but held up so well that we kept the leftovers and it continued to be good a few days later. I added cauliflowerets and a little diced potato; otherwise stayed faithful to the recipe. The vegetarians in the group really liked it, but more than a few carnivores enjoyed it too--the ginger and cardamom flavor was nice. Some kids liked it, some didn't.

I made this soup tonight- it did not have alot of flavor. I added three bouillion cubes and 1/2 teaspoon more of both Cumin and Garam Masala. It was very good, I will make it again.

This soup has an excellent Indian flavor. Some friends walked into the house just after I started to boil the soup and they commented on the wonderful aroma that filled the house! I used brown lentils instead of red, I used red kidney beans instead of cannellini (which is white kidney beans), and I diced my own carrots, tomatoes, and celery. Fresh is always better than canned! I also used bagged beans instead of canned because of the higher nutritional value bagged beans have, so I had to let the soup cook longer (I made it around 8 AM and it was ready by 9 PM. I didn't have any cardamom so I used 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 3/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. Garam masala is a spice combo of cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper, so you don't really need more garam masala... A great taste!

This soup was excellent!! I used 4 cups of chicken broth + 2 cups water instead of pure water. Added the Garam Masala much later in the cooking so it kept its spiceyness. Also added a bit of cilanto.

This was really tasty and easy to make. I omitted the cardamom (only had the pods) and added some boullion cubes as another reviewer suggested, because it needed a little something. I was a bit heavy handed with the cayenne pepper, so I added a spoonful of sour cream to the finished product. It made a nice presentation that way too.

Since I like a ton of flavor, I added powdered vegetable broth to the water, and extra garlic. The result was a rich, spicy, flavorful soup, and the cardamom in it is wonderful. Make sure you add enough salt to bring out the flavor. This recipe takes on a whole new level of greatness (in my opinion) when you stir in a dollup of plain yogurt to your bowl. It is easy to eat healthy when you're able to find recipes like this!

This soup is SO good! Thank you for the recipe, I'll certainly make it again! I didn't add the ground cardamom because I didn't have any and am not too fond of its taste.

I LOVE this recipe. I'm a vegetarian, and I'm always looking for easy, yummy main dishes. My husband likes it too and he's not a big lentil fan. It's so good I have been making it all summer, even though it's much more a cool weather dish. The only minor change I make is to add some salt before pureeing. YUM!!!

This was fabulous. I used 2 cups organic chicken broth plus 4 cups of water instead of 6 cups of plain water. I also left out the chick peas since I didn't have any and used smaller navy beans, which I think is a better choice than white kidney beans. I also left out the celery. I was a hesistant to use 1 1/2 tsp cardamom, so I used a little less. I didn't want to overpower the soup, but it was fine and probably could have gone with the whole amount. I also added 1/4 tsp curry powder and 1 1/2 tsp salt. I served it with some rice, cilantro and cayenne pepper. Excellent!

With all the spices, I expected the flavor to be a tad stronger, but I still really liked it. When I made it a second time, I substituted the cardamom with yellow curry and it was really tasty, and I think I prefer it that way!

I didn't puree it - would have been better because the chick peas were too big.

Wonderful soup!!!! I supersized this using the button on the bottom, and served it to 85 people at a church dinner. Everyone LOVED it. The only things I did differently were, I used less water and diced tomatoes, and I didn't puree it, due to space/time considerations. It was DELICIOUS!

Yummy! This soup is delicious. The only thing I added was 2 teaspoons salt. Also, the soup was done is 25 minutes. I served it with fresh diced tomatoes and a sprinkling of chopped fresh cilantro. This is definitely an addition to my regular recipes. Thanks!
