I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup is way too salty for my taste. I think I'll try making it again with less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked the pork.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I'm allergic to pork, so I made this soup with chicken instead. It was still delicious!
