This is a good, basic lentil soup, but it needs some more seasoning to make the flavor "pop". The texture was perfect- thick and creamy, just what you need on a cold night. I replaced the water with chicken stock, and doubled the cumin. Next time I would also add some garlic, along with the onion. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC, Spring 2011.
