    This soup is very good. I added dark red kidney beans instead of the romano beans. Very good. - 9/3/09

    Easy & Delicious .. my kind of recipe! Had to substitute 3 things with what I had on hand: Used canned black beans (which I rinsed), beef broth, and instead of hot peppers used 1 tbsp of chili powder. What a lovely way to satisfy my craving for hot, comforting soup! - 10/18/11

    Sorry what do you mean by toss the cabbage with acid? XD I'm confused. - 5/21/10

    Sorry should have been more clear! You toss the chopped cabbage with either vinegar or lemon juice (the second ingredient). I used "acid" because you could use either of those.

    This was so good. It had lots of umami! I gave some to my friends and they loved it, too. This will be a regular. - 4/29/09
