Not a fan of this soup. The flavor was just okay and the texture was a bit weird.

This soup is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more spices or herbs.

Overall, this soup was good. The flavor was nice and the egg noodles were a great addition. I would have liked it to be a bit thicker, though.
