This recipe called for ground cinnamon, odd. I did it anyways. And also didnt require any salt, also found that weird. In the end I wish I just would’ve replaced the cinnamon with salt. Other than that the cooking of the soup was great. Super soupy like. Think I would’ve done half a cup of the broth less.
