This soup is very good, but it is a bit too spicy for me. I would use less paprika next time.

The lentils were a bit overcooked for my liking. I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This soup is hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. The lentils are cooked perfectly, and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. I love the addition of the smoked paprika, which gives the soup a slightly smoky flavor.
