This soup is a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I had some trouble getting the soup to blend smoothly. I think I'll try using a blender instead of a food processor next time.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of melon soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of lime juice and mint really brightens up the flavors.
