    Excellent soup, I'll be making (or having Chester make it) this again! - 2/26/09

    I used more garlic and only three cups of water and this soup still tasted very very bland to me. And there was so much of it for two people! But, like many soups, it actually tasted better as leftovers on subsequent days. If I make it again, I will experiment with adding bay leaf or other herbs. - 2/1/10
