This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper or omitting it altogether. Other than that, the soup was delicious and I would definitely make it again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices. I also found the texture to be a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more liquid or pureeing the soup until it's smoother.
