I thought this soup was just okay. The flavor was a little too tangy for my taste, and the chicken was a little dry. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This soup was a little too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much lemon juice. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less lemon juice next time.

I loved the bright and tangy flavor of this soup. The pesto added a nice depth of flavor, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
