    This is a great recipe that I make all the time. However, I believe credit should go to Isa Chandra Moskowitz, as this exact recipe can be found on the Post Punk Kitchen website and in her book, Vegan with a Vengeance. - 4/3/09

    I doubld this recipe and made it for a soup luncheon at church today. It was delicious and received lots of compliments. The spice mixture made it much more interesting. - 10/21/12

    Incredible!
    This is one of my favorite VWAV recipes. It works well in the crockpot (leave out the oil). I also like to add a potato and some spinach. - 10/4/09
