    I don’t know, it was a bit too spicy for me. I had to add more broth to tone it down.

    I followed the recipe, but my soup turned out bland. Maybe I need to add more spices? 🤔

      Maybe you should try adding some cayenne pepper or a bit of smoked paprika! It’ll totally kick up the flavor! 🌶️

    I don’t like beans in soup, so I left them out. Still turned out good, I guess.

    1. 5 stars
      Good to hear it still turned out tasty! Beans aren’t for everyone. Soup is all about personal taste.
