A few tips to make this vegan cream of lentil soup

You can choose to mix all of the soup, or mix about two third of it and keep the rest unmixed, if you enjoy a bit of texture.

If the soup is too thick, don’t hesitate to add some more water to reach the right consistency.

Depending on how spicy you like your food, and how hot your curry powder is, I recommend tasting the soup before adding the chili paste.
