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

I'm not a big fan of artichokes, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were very well-balanced and the soup was very creamy.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I love the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes, which give the soup a nice tang.
