I'm disappointed with this recipe. The flavors just didn't come together for me.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup was too thick. I had to add some extra broth to thin it out.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

I served the soup with a side of crusty bread. It was the perfect way to warm up on a cold night.

I added a cup of chopped kale to the soup. It added a nice pop of color and nutrients.

I'm allergic to carrots, so I omitted them from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

I didn't have any lentils, so I used black beans instead. The soup still turned out great!

This soup is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still really good. I'll just have to be careful not to add too much chili powder next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat more vegetables.
