This soup was a disappointment. The shrimp was overcooked and the tofu was rubbery. The broth was also very bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland. I had to add a lot of extra seasonings to make it taste good.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The shrimp and tofu were cooked perfectly, and the broth was flavorful and savory. I added a bit of extra Sriracha for a little kick, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
