    This sounds so yummy! I'm going to try it with hot turkey sausage (crumbled, without casings). Can't wait, thanks for the recipe :) - 12/18/10

    Amazing soup! We had it tonight & everyone loved it :)
    I used green onion in place of regular onion & leek. I also added tofu to the soup - loved it! I think it actually needs more spice, but that's just me :) We like our food SPICY! This is a recipe I'm going make a lot & have fun playn' around w - 4/15/09

    This is a great basic recipe that you can add any type of veg to. I made a similar soup but with spinach added. It is very tasty. It's also easy to add some proteins to. Chicken or Shrimps. That would change the calorie count, but not by much. - 1/21/09

    Hi Curlygurl7 did you try my soup? Hope it wasnt too spicy for you! I put quite a lot of chilli in mine for that extra kick. Let me know your thoughts.

    Hey Sunshine, thanks, watch out for the chilli though, I like my soup very spicy so just use 1 tsp or miss it out all together if you want to give it to the kids and they dont like spicy stuff!. Jean
