I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This soup is a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. I don't think I'll be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out bland. I think I'll add more salt and pepper next time.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm allergic to cumin, so I substituted ground coriander instead. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also like to add a handful of chopped spinach or kale for extra nutrition.

I love the addition of the lemon juice at the end. It really brightens up the soup and gives it a fresh flavor.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with carrots, celery, and onions, and the lentils add a boost of protein.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this soup changed my mind. The lentils are cooked perfectly and the soup is so flavorful.

This red lentil soup is fantastic! The flavors are rich and complex, and the soup is hearty and filling. I especially love the addition of the cumin and coriander, which give the soup a warm and inviting aroma.
