This soup is really good, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

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

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler plum soup recipe next time.

I found the soup to be a bit bland. I think it could use a bit more spice.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out perfectly. The only thing I would say is that it's important to use ripe plums, otherwise the soup will be too tart.
