I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The soup was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste. I added a little sugar to balance out the flavors.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful.
