    Incredible!
    The canned chicken broth and tomato paste have a LOT of sodium. I used water and a smoked ham hock instead and it was delicious. - 1/12/13

    Soup sounds great, but....at 2,341.6 mg of sodium per serving, it sure isn't healthy for anyone! Or, is that a miscalculation? - 2/16/12

    Good
    I was not fond of the cumin but I think it would be good without that too. My kids loved it as is. - 3/7/08
