This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were well-balanced and the lentils were cooked perfectly.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's warm, comforting, and filling. I love the addition of lentils, which give it a boost of protein and fiber.
