I made this today, looks like 'grass' soup and tasted like it. Tasteless. Lots of pepper and salt added, still tasteless.

I thought this was quite nice/fine. It didn't blow my mind but then I didn't expect it to! It suited my purposes perfectly: I had loads of leeks in the garden that needed eating to make way for summer veg; I also had some chard and kale in the garden (which I used instead of spinach) that likewise…

I added a teaspoon of dried thyme to this soup, at the stock stage, and it improved the flavour. I have made it lots of times, to take to work for lunch, but it's a fairly average, bland, but healthy soup without some tweaking. Lots of black pepper and thyme certainly helped.

It tasted a bit like thin mushy peas. The kids were not very keen. I'd recommend the watercress and celeriac soup for a healthy, much tastier alternative at 255 calories.
