I made this delicious soup today.
Did the method a little differently.Ground the lentils first 30sec/speed 8 set them aside.Used butter instead of EVO and substituted chicken stock.Didn't use      but cooked everything at speed 2

I have just finished making this soup and couldn't resist having a taste.  It really is delicious and it's one that I will be making again.

I want to make this for my mum for lunch tomorrow as she is only able to eat soup following an operation recently. The soup must be very smooth, so for those who have made it before, can you please advise if this is the case or if I should follow CornishCream's method and grind up the lentils first to be sure?
Thanks.

I didn't grind my lentils Kerryn and the soup turned out fine.  Nice and smooth.  If anything I think I was a little heavy handed on the curry powder but that was my fault.  I did use speed 2 on reverse tho.  Hope this helps you.

When you blend the soup the lentils aren't at all distinguishable, so no need to blend beforehand. It is quite a thick soup so add extra water if your Mum needs it thinner.

This is just what the doctor ordered for tonight as it is a tiny bit cool, under 30 anyway. We haven't had soup for ages and have missed it. I like iced soup but the rest of the family don't.

This was the first soup I made in my new TMX . It is absolutely delicious and very easy on the waistline .  Hubby loved it as well .

I made this today after going through CP63 list of fav recipes, and served it with the cheese and bacon rolls also on her fav list.  This soup was lovely as were the rolls. And went down a treat as today in Adelaide, Australia it is cold wet and windy.

Delicious easy, quick soup.  Perfect for this cold, rainy, dark wintery day!  I had all the ingredients on hand which was a bonus.  My lentils didn't puree fully but I still love it.  Maybe I will try grinding them first as a previous poster suggested.  Will definitely be making this often!  Thank you.

Quick and easy soup. I added extra water and cooked for an extra 5 minutes. Lentils take different times to cook and I wonder if people who found the finished soup gritty were using another type of lentil or needed to cook for longer. I found cooking on reverse speed spoon barely moved the mixture so I ended up using speed 2 without reverse (hey, it gets puréed anyway so why bother with reverse?) to get everything moving and cooking.

A yummy soup which will cover a week of work lunches.

I made quite a bit of liquid chicken stock yesterday so this was one of the soups I made with it.

I roasted the pumpkin and 2 cloves confit of garlic (using the oil as well) in the air fryer for 15 minutes in a preheated 200^o air fryer (I removed the basket and placed the pumpkin pieces onto baking paper in the bottom of the machine).  Whilst this was happening I chopped and sauteed the onion in more garlic oil in the TMX then followed the rest of the recipe, cooking it on speed 2 though.  After blending, I added 120 mls cream and mixed that for a few seconds.  Dee-licious!

It's certainly soup weather. I just love it.
