This recipe was a disaster! The soup was watery and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but this soup changed my mind. The tofu was soft and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the shrimp.
