This soup is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the coconut milk made it too creamy. I probably won't make it again.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were complex and delicious, and the coconut milk made it creamy and rich. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less curry next time.
