This soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's hearty, flavorful, and filling. I love the addition of kale, which gives the soup a nice pop of color and nutrients.

This soup is a good base recipe, but it definitely needs some tweaking to make it more flavorful. I added some extra garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning, and it turned out much better.

I found this soup to be a bit too heavy on the pasta and lentils, and not enough on the vegetables. I would have liked to see more carrots, celery, and onions in the soup.

I agree with the previous reviewer. This soup was way too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to make it palatable.

I was really excited to try this soup, but I was disappointed with the results. The soup was bland and lacked flavor. I think it needed more spices and herbs.
