I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think next time I make it, I'll add some more spices to the soup base.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I make it, I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the cinnamon cream.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a huge fan of squash, but I'm so glad I did! The pear flavor really balances out the squash flavor, and the cinnamon cream adds a lovely touch of sweetness. This soup is now one of my favorites!
