This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I ended up adding some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor. It was still a good soup, but not as good as I was hoping for.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a winner. The broth is so flavorful and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I love adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top for extra richness. This soup is definitely a keeper!
