Root Vegetable Soup image

There's nothing better than a bowl of hot soup on a cold winters day, although, my DH will eat soup during a summers heat wave. I recently found this recipe in our local Sunday newspaper. I've yet to try it but it looks and sounds amazing. Having not made it as yet, it's difficult for me to list the exact prep and cook time, but I would say they're pretty accurate.

This soup is a good starting point, but I think it needs some tweaking. I'm going to add some more vegetables and spices next time.

I was expecting this soup to be more flavorful. It's not bad, but it's not as good as I thought it would be.

This soup is too thick for my taste. I think I'll add some more broth next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. Maybe I didn't add enough salt.
