This was the worst pea soup I've ever had. The flavor was terrible, and the texture was watery and thin. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, and the mushroom cream sauce was not very flavorful. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices and herbs.
