    My teenage daughter loves this as an easy school lunch. Easy to make variations depending on what you have in the fridge as well. Thank you

    Delicious and so easy. I added half a cup of hemp seeds and two pinches of Dulce flakes to add nutrient value. Added a pinch of chilli only at the end with the basil leaves so its not spice for the kids. Yum, very impressed, thanks for sharing tmrc_emoticons.)

    This is my favourite thermie soup. So simple and delicious! I use a whole fresh red chilli at the first stage as I always have some handy. 

    Thank you for the recipe!

    I really loved this soup. Quick and easy to make and has a lovely flavour. I increased the lentils to 70gms as I like a thicker soup. May even add a little more next time I make it. Thanks for the recipe.  Cooking 9
