This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. I would definitely make it again, but I would use a milder sausage next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was really good. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the kale added a nice texture. I would definitely make this again.

This soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different sausage or added some more spices.
