This is a sweet and salty soup, for low sodium leave out the soy sauce, but it will not taste the same (somewhere on here is a recipe for low sodium soy sauce). This soup reheats and freezes well.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The soup was a little bland. I had to add some salt and pepper to give it some flavor.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

This mandarin soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the soup had a lovely, light texture. I especially loved the addition of the mandarin oranges, which gave the soup a subtle sweetness and a pop of color.
