[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't thicken up. I ended up adding some cornstarch to thicken it, but it still wasn't as creamy as I would have liked.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still didn't have much flavor. I think I would have preferred it if it had more cress or some other herbs.

[email protected]This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used fresh asparagus and cress from my garden, and the soup turned out beautifully. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
