I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my soup came out really thick. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out.

This soup is a little too spicy for me. I think I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery, and it turned out great.
