This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

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

I'm not a huge fan of poblano peppers, but this soup was still really good. The creaminess of the soup mellowed out the heat of the peppers.
