This is quite good! I don't tend to puree my dal/lentil soups so I just used and extra 2 cups broth and let it cook until the lentils broke down, which they always do eventually. You invited me to season this one up and I did. For this batch I added garlic powder, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, asafoetida, sliced thai chiles, a pinch of baking soda (helps tenderize pulses/beans) and I had about 1/4 cup leftover salsa fresca from a Mexican restaurant takeout that I tossed in to get rid of. All were wonderful and gave the soup a hint of both Indian and southwest flavor with a bit of kick from the thai chiles and salsa. Nice! Thanks for sharing.

I made this last night adding a couple of potatoes and omitting the cilantro. I don't usually make lentil soup using red lentils but loved this soup. The red lentils cook up very quickly making this an ideal week night recipe.
