Directions
Spiced Tomato and Red Lentil Soup,Curry powder and garam masala are both Indian spice blends. These blends vary in flavor. Experiment to see which you prefer. This recipe comes from the January 2009 issue of Fine Cooking.,We really enjoyed this simple-to-make soup. used just basic curry powder – but next time I want to try making this soup with garam masala and maybe a few more carrots. Yummy! Made for Zaar tag. Thanks for sharing this keeper!,I am writing this review without posting a rating because I’ve never used curry powder before and don’t know if the reason that I disliked this soup so much was the overwhelming flavor of the curry powder. I omitted the carrot, too, which could have changed the flavor. used fire-roasted diced tomatoes, and followed the rest of the directions exactly. I thought the soup was awful – I threw it away after taking the photo. I don’t know if this is a bad recipe of if I don’t have a taste for Indian food or curry. I would suggest that a person who likes these flavors to give this soup a shot. Made for Newest ‘Zaar Tag Game, 2/14/09 – NELady.
