Spiced Lentil Soup
A community recipe by StoupaTartNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
I never weigh or measure when making soup - after all you might like it thicker or thinner than I do. Bear in mind, though, that you can add more water and flavour at the end, but it's not so easy to take it out.
