I haven’t cooked it yet, because I made a lentil soup today before I saw this recipe. I will, Lord willing, make this. It sounds, by your description, very tasty. What I like particularly is the homey style with which you describe the process. I felt very comfortable and relaxed reading your piece. That is why, also, I am keen to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing it. Amen.

Wow! I just realised that I have been using an adapted version of your recipe for years! Long before starting my blog.
I love the flavours and the soup is so hearty. It is a family favourite.

Good catch! I missed that step, yes you do drain and rinse them. Thanks!

And Valerie, it is exotic tasting, but it's a mild curry dish. My son can eat curries by the bucket, so honestly he is NOT a good measurement! He eats jalapenos on top of nachos without blinking an eye. Must have been the jalapenos I ate non-stop while pregnant with him, I swear.

Cardamom pods would have been in the aisle at Superstore where they have all the huge yellow bags Indian spices, rice etc, I am almost positive. Grated lemon peel you can grate it yourself and let it dry out, doesn’t take long at all and it’s as easy as heck.

Hey where do you get cardamon pods? Also follow up to a different recipe where did you find dried grated lemon?

A fantastic tutorial. And hilarious – too! I also am working to use more legumes, lentils and on. But, for me. To get Vanja to eat them I’d have to get an elephant to sit on him and also tie him down. I killed myself laughing about how you work to hide nutrients in your hubby’s food. It sounds SO familiar! Vanja loves to eat, but – boy, does he ever cramp my style! He is SO picky and likes such PLAIN food. I loved your shot of the soup half pureed and half whole. It does look delicious. I love soup, too. Is it super exotic? It looks like it might be, yet, if your son likes it….
(everything I make is an epic if you following the dishes!)
