This soup was amazing! I loved the creamy texture and the bright, citrusy flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice. Otherwise, it was a good soup.

I loved the vibrant green color of this soup! It was so inviting and made me want to dig right in. The flavor was also great - the lemon and basil really complemented the spinach.

This soup was a great way to use up some leftover spinach. It was quick and easy to make, and it was really delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together. Maybe I'll try again another time.

Delicious! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the lemon and basil gave it a nice bright flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.

This soup is so simple, yet so flavorful. I love the bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon and the earthy flavor of the spinach. It's a great soup to have on hand for a quick and easy meal.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and salt, and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some shredded chicken or sausage.

Not a fan of spinach, but this soup was actually really good! The lemon and basil flavors were really prominent, and the soup was nice and creamy. Will definitely make again.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. The lemon really brightens up the soup and gives it a summery feel. I'll definitely be making this again!

This soup was a delicious and refreshing twist on the classic spinach soup. The vibrant green color was inviting, and the zesty lemon flavor paired perfectly with the earthy spinach and fragrant basil. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch
