Yum! This is a good, quick and hearty soup. I did like the subtle coconut flavour from the coconut oil. I used heaping measures of the spices, and added 1/2 tsp cayenne for a little more heat. I also added grated carrot in with the lentils. My husband suggested adding some curry powder as well - maybe next time! Thanks!
