Not a fan of this soup. The eggplant was too overpowering and the soup was too bland.

I found this soup to be a bit too watery. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit thicker.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices and herbs to give it some flavor.
