Never cooked red lentils by themselves...but I sure have included them in other bean soups.
Sounds good.

Aha - you're from Australia :) That's why you are posting a winter soup in August when I think its still summer!

Thanks for the recipe, it sounds good to me - how much curry powder do you use - or do you just put it in 'to taste'?

I love lentils any way and just happen to have some red ones so will be trying this as soon as "soup weather" arrives here in Texas.
Thanks for sharing.
