I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

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

I'm not usually a fan of lentil soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The squash and curry spices really elevate the flavor and make it something special.

This soup is so hearty and flavorful! The lentils and squash cook together until they're tender and delicious, and the curry spices give it a wonderful depth of flavor. I served it with a side of naan bread and it was the perfect meal.
