This soup was a waste of time and ingredients. The quinoa was mushy, the broth was bland, and the lemon flavor was overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup was a disappointment. The quinoa was undercooked and the broth was bland. I think I would have liked it more if the quinoa had been cooked for a longer amount of time and the broth had been seasoned with more spices and herbs.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if the broth had been more flavorful.

I'm not a fan of this recipe. I found the soup to be too sour and the quinoa to be too mushy. I think I would have liked it more if the lemon flavor had been more subtle and the quinoa had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my soup, but it turned out terrible. The quinoa was hard and the broth was watery. I think I may have used the wrong ingredients or followed the instructions incorrectly.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some additional spices or herbs. The quinoa was also a bit overcooked for my liking.

I love this soup! It's so light and refreshing, and the lemon flavor is perfect. I also like that it's packed with healthy ingredients like quinoa and spinach. I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit.

This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. I will definitely be making this soup again.
