This soup was delicious! The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the broth was so flavorful. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. Overall, it was an okay soup, but I probably won't make it again.
