I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I would also recommend adding some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less paprika next time. Otherwise, the soup was very good.
