This soup is way too spicy for me. I think I'll try making it again with less chili peppers.

I followed the recipe carefully, but my soup was too salty. I think I may have added too much salt or bacon.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I think I may have added too much water.

I made a few changes to the recipe, such as using chicken broth instead of beef broth and adding some diced tomatoes. The soup turned out great and I will definitely be making it again.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this soup was surprisingly delicious. The bacon and spices really add a lot of flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans. I had some canned black beans in my pantry and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.
