This soup is good, but it's not as good as I was hoping. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe but my soup didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have used too much milk.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I loved this soup! The lemon and cream really mellow out the asparagus flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I always have a bunch of asparagus in my fridge, so this soup is a lifesaver.
