I googled “red lentils + sweet potatoes” because I had those on hand and this recipe came up. I subbed frozen green beans, dry sautéed the onions, and used regular curry powder. It was still amazingly delicious!

In reply to Maricelle. Hi Marcielle, you could rinse them, but there's no need to soak.

Jeanine, please tell me….
Do you rinse/soak the red lentils too ??
There’s always a lot of “soapy water” kind of look when I do. I keep doing it until the water is clean and clear. But, nobody says you do or you don’t.
Your answer is appreciated.

I loved the flavor of this soup and will definitely make it again. However, I also couldn’t get the green beans to soften. It sort of ruined the texture, because it was so creamy and soft except for the crunchy green beans. Will omit them next time, add them earlier or precook them.

The flavor of this was wonderful . I’d add the green beans earlier – here they are left too the end with spinach. I’m not a raw green bean fan so I had to cook them longer in the lentil mix and everything turned into a mush without enough texture to call it a stew .

I’ve made this several times and it’s super delicious. I decided to up the curry powder to 3 tsp, and I was pretty generous with the salt (which I recommend). I also used frozen green beans, which worked very well. The lime and lemon juice really take this dish to the next level. The best part is, it tastes even better the next day as the cardamom really pokes through!
