I'm allergic to fennel, so I used anise instead. The soup still turned out great!

I followed the recipe but my soup turned out too watery. I think I added too much broth.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it still turned out delicious. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and added some diced carrots and celery.
