    This soup is sooooooo good! I only added about half the amount of water called for, and a little bit of vegetarian bullion base. Thank you for sharing this! - 4/18/14

    Can you make this with other beans, i.e. black or pinto? - 2/8/10

    Skip the plain potato & add SWEET POTATO! Lots more flavor! Also added some garlic herb blend Mrs. Dash & about 10 cloves of garlic total. Finally, some cut up pieces of dried seaweed! Whacky but yummy! - 11/9/09
