I wasn't a fan of this soup. The lentils were too mushy and the Swiss chard was too bitter. I think I'll stick to my regular lentil soup recipe.

I thought this soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for me. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add a little bit of extra curry powder to give it a bit more of a kick. I also like to serve it with a side of naan bread.
