I didn't like this soup at all. It was too spicy and the couscous was mushy.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was a little too spicy for me, but I think I just added too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and filling, and the spice gives it a nice kick.

I wasn't sure how the couscous would work in this soup, but it was actually really good. It added a nice chewiness and texture. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is so easy to make and it's absolutely delicious. I love that I can use canned tomatoes and frozen vegetables, so it's a great way to use up pantry staples.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The soup was flavorful and comforting, with just the right amount of spice. The couscous added a nice texture and made the soup feel more substantial. I will definitely be making this again.
