Curried Pumpkin and Lentil Soup

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

Thanks JD.  It's just a cough but it's knocking me around a bit. The soup wasn't great but was edible with some crusty bread and lot's of cracked pepper.

We had this today along with a homemade cobb loaf for lunch and it was lovely. Will definitely be making this again thanks Chelsea.

Sounds like my kind of lunch Shazzy. Yum!

I made this soup last night and I loved it. It is quite thick (which I prefer). I only put a teaspoon of curry in but could had more if you wanted it. I was thinking some other spices might go well in it too. I will def be making this one again!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.  It is an easy one to vary.

Really enjoyed this and so quick and easy.  The only tweak I did was to fry off the onion in a frypan and add the curry powder, then scraped them into the TM bowl after chopping the pumpkin.  I think I will even try using a whole onion next time too. I did add a little extra water at the end.   A great conversion Chelsea, thank you.

It is a privilege to see your photos Ragdoll Julie    When you become famous we can all say we know you.  Bet you are turning out some beautiful pictures of your GS.

  Thanks girls, yes it's with the new camera and it is a learning curve but I'm enjoying it.  

Judy I plan on taking it the next time we visit our grandson, was going to drive down today but DH is full of a cold and didn't want to risk passing it on, so will have to wait until his next days off (and I have no jury duty to get in the way).

I made this for some guests during the week.  After eating, I was asked by my guest to make a batch & she would pay me for it .  Can't get a much better recommendation than that

Wonderful compliment bigTcup.

That's fantastic.  I must admit it is one of our favourite soups.  I make it at least once a fortnight with either butternut pumpkin or sweet potato. Yum!

I have 3 pumpkins at the moment. I can make this tonight.
