I'm not a big fan of tamarind, so I wasn't sure if I would like this soup. But I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very refreshing.

This soup is a good starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add some more spices and maybe some coconut milk.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found that the soup was too thick. I added some water to thin it out.
