    Loved this soup but far too much quantity. Only made half the quantity and added come beans for protein. Will be making it again. - 1/19/11

    LOVED IT! All the spices were great although i did have to omit some i didn't have and i added stew meat to make it more palatable to my fiance and mother in law. I will make it again, but probably with the addition of rice or beans. - 3/26/08

    I made this and it's very yummy. I ended up using 1/2 water and 1/2 vegetable broth. - 2/6/08
