    The flavor is very good, and thank goodness I DID NOT put in 3/4 CUP of red pepper flakes in the recipe! Common sense told me that might be a little too much! The flavor was great and the kids loved it! TFS with all of us. - 1/6/09

    Have you checked out the sodium level? That's 1 to 1-1/2 times the daily amount for most adults. - 12/11/08

    No, actually I didn't look at it. I saw the recipe in a magazine, changed it to a crock pot recipe, and put it in here to calcuate my calories for the day. As you know, I am sure you could substitute for lower sodium chicken broth and/or use half water.
