I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the chicken broth. It was still delicious! I used vegetable broth instead, and it turned out great.

This soup is so easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for a special occasion. The flavors were very intense, and the blue cheese was very prominent.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised by this soup. The flavors were well-balanced, and the soup was very creamy. I would definitely make this again.
