Back to TopTriangleI leave reviews for recipes that are extraordinarily good. This made the mark. I make this as written except more ginger because I can't get enough. This recipe is absolutely crave worthy!

SO good. I added a chunk of butter at the end served with Bon Appetit's flatbread recipe. Phenomenal.

I agree with the other reviewers that this recipe could have used a touch more flavor, but nothing a little extra salt couldn't help solve. I think the lime juice and red pepper flakes i sprinkled on top helped give it that acidic balance. I also decided to puree the soup with an emulsion blender to give it a smoother, silkier consistency.

SO good. Definitely a recipe you can tweak based on what you have lying around. I used two honeycrisp apples, slightly less ginger, doubled the cumin and added ground coriander and a bit of garam masala. Served over cilantro lime rice and chopped spinach but would also be great with chickpeas or sweet potatoes. Will absolutely make again!!!

This is such an comforting and healthy go-to dinner for my family. I love adding a whole onion, one extra apple and shredded carrots or chopped greens for more veggies. Tonight I was in a rush and just pulsed everything in the food processor and I love the texture even more!

I tried the original recipe and found it a bit bland. I used one onion and I added 1/2 tsp of each spice and added curry powder also. Grated but then drained the apple to remove excess moisture. Turned out a lot better.

So tasty! Followed other reviewers and used a green apple, doubled the spices and garlic, used vegetable broth instead of water, finished with fish sauce and soy sauce.

I'm new to cooking with lentils. This recipe seems like a great first dish to try. However, I have green lentils, not red. Anyone know if it'll still work?

We made this recipe tonight both of us think it's really good. Giving it three stars. My husband thinks that you could add green apple if you want to make it a little brighter. ... Or add more coconut flavoring. ....seems like it might need a little bit more of something but you can play around with it.

This turned out really great for me. I used a Gala apple and tripled the spices. I also added curry powder like other people said! I served over rice which also felt like a great touch, and the end result was silky and comforting with only a bit of sweetness. Really simple, delicious vegan meal I'll definitely revisit.

Yummy, easy, but needs a few tweaks. I doubled the spices and added curry powder. The apple flavor did not come through for me, so I'm going to experiment with different kinds of apples and maybe sub a tiny bit of the water in the recipe for apple cider. I made rice to accompany this, and was kicking myself for not throwing broccoli in; I think it would be the perfect veggie addition to the meal. Overall, great, easy recipe that is easy to tweak to your liking.

Great recipe; well the bones are good. I suggest following my edits for a more flavorful result!I doubled the spices right off the bat, I also added 1/2 a teaspoon of curry powder. Instead of half of an onion I used a whole onion. Instead of using water I used vegetable stock to add additional flavor. Since most people said this was too sweet I decided to add 1-2 TBS of soy sauce and 1-2 tsp of fish sauce. Lastly you should season this generously with salt when you add the lime juice. I also used sour cream instead of yogurt but that’s just a personal preference. Other than that this was a total hit! I will double next time since this is only about 3 generous portions and I wanted leftovers.

So good! I doubled the recipe and increased the cumin and turmeric and added veggie stock as mentioned in some of the reviews. I felt like like something else was missing,so I grounded some coriander seeds and boy did that add a ton of flavor. I topped it off with some sprigs of cilantro and coconut yogurt. Yummy!
