I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted diced zucchini. The soup was still delicious!

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs and spices.
