Not enough seasoning? Not enough of the main ingredient in proportion to liquid?
Taste will not come from stock cubes alone. Are you getting the balance of the main ingredients right and it may need some herbs or spices as well and salt/pepper.
Don't rely on stock cubes for the taste ..... add loads of veg etc and seasoning. Taste as you go...I generally make a really thick soup and water it down if it won't pour! Just finishing off the xmas veg in soup form...I don't ever waste left overs so often make soup...all I can taste arevegetables...we had a lot of leftovers!!
Do you experiment with herbs and spices? Used properly, they add depth of flavour.
Are your taste buds working well ?
Did you remember to add sufficient salt ?
Are your ingredients top quality of produced as cheaply as possible ?
Are your herbs & spices past their 'use by' date ?
...OR...
Loss of taste is a symptom of coronavirus.
What soup are you making?
(Don't say 'I don't know, I can't taste it..,')
Try starting with a decent recipe:

I used to find that but when I make chicken soup I use chicken thighs or drumsticks (with bones) BUT I do cook them in muslin bags because they break up so finely but the taste is superb.
That sounds a good tip j j .
