This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. I love to make it on a cold winter day.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that it's a one-pot meal, too. Cleanup is a breeze!

This soup was a disaster! It was bland and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This soup was a hit with my family! It was creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. I used russet potatoes, but I think next time I'll try Yukon Golds. I also added a dollop of sour cream to each bowl, which was the perfect finishing to
