The soup was too thick. I added some extra water to thin it out.

The soup was bland and lacked flavor. I think it needed more seasoning.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less ginger.

I added some chopped red bell pepper to the soup for extra color and flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious without it.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

The flavors in this soup are amazing! The lime and ginger give it a really bright and refreshing flavor, while the cilantro adds a nice earthiness.

The soup is easy to make and can be ready in under an hour. I used cod fillets, but you could also use tilapia, salmon, or any other type of white fish.
