I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too spicy. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices, or maybe some fresh herbs. The texture was also a bit gritty, even though I blended it until it was smooth. Overall, I wasn't impressed with this recipe.
