Curry Lentil Soup

I found the original recipe online on the NY Times website. They call their version Red Lentil Soup With Lemon. When I went to make it for the first time I messed up with the spices and added curry powder instead of cumin. When I realized my mistake I added the cumin anyway. I also omitted the finishing steps because I didn't have any lemon on hand. I just served it after hitting it with the immersion blender. The soup turned out amazing and it's been a favorite ever since. Submitted by: BELISANA

Sounds lovely. I am very bad for creamy dressings and trying to wean off as they are my downfall. This is very fresh sounding, keeping two weeks too. Very impressive and really worth doing to keep me out of trouble! - 3/26/15
