Indian-Spiced Lentil Soup image

This recipe is from Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson. I changed it slightly by added more lentils and sweet potatoes which makes it really thick, more like stew.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.
