I'm not sure if I would make this soup again. It's not really my type of thing.

I'm not a fan of the texture of this soup. The bread is too thick and gummy.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and coriander next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out too thick. I think I added too much bread.
