I wasn't a big fan of this soup. I found the flavors to be a bit too bland and the vegetables to be a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred it if I had added some more spices and herbs.

This was a great soup to make ahead of time. I made it on a Sunday afternoon and then had it for lunch and dinner all week. It was just as good, if not better, the next day.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less cayenne pepper.

I found this soup to be a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less olive oil.
