Curried Lentil Soup (A Vegan Recipe)

One of the challenges to make soups vegan or vegetarian has enough flavor broth if you just add water and not a stock. I never have stock side, so I prefer to use water and vegetable to inculcate the depth of flavour. In this recipe ingredients - spices and vegetables - lenses combine to prepare tasty, hearty soups.

Otherwise, the taste is quite soft. You can also make it spicy that you like by altering how Chile pepper you add, where appropriate. And curry flavour is very mild aussi ?
