I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I probably wouldn't make this soup again.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I'm not a big fan of basil, but I thought this soup was still pretty good. The broth was flavorful and the rice was cooked perfectly. I would recommend this soup to anyone who likes basil.
