I'm not a fan of couscous, so I used rice instead. It turned out great!

I found this soup to be a bit too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This soup was too spicy for me. I had to add some yogurt to cool it down.

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