I'm not a big fan of tomato soup, but this one was really good! The basil and Parmesan cheese added a lot of flavor.

This soup is a bit too acidic for me. I would add a little bit of sugar or honey to balance out the flavors next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll reduce the amount of liquid next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.
