I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I was really looking forward to this soup, but I was disappointed. It was too thick and the flavors were not well-balanced.

This soup was a little too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it flavorful.
