This soup was okay. I found it to be a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste, but it still didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't recommend this soup to others.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little bit of a kick. I will definitely be making this soup again.
