This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less curry powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is incredible! The curry spices give it a warm and inviting flavor, and the squash is perfectly tender. I served it with a side of homemade bread, and it was the perfect fall meal.
