Ten stars! Super yummy, and easy to make. Will be making again and again. Thank you, Torre!
This is good! Easy and quick, tasty and filling. Will make again. I put a squeeze of lemon juice in my bowl of soup—perfect.
We have been eating this soup for six years and never reviewed it – my hubby always makes it for me and tonight is my first night so I had to review! We double the recipe (we’ve used basmati when out of brown rice) and when doubling we use a while can of toms (often fire roasted, but whatever we got works perfectly) — it’s SO GOOD, I remember requesting it as a BDAY food one year!! Love love love.
Love this recipe! I’ve made it dozens of times and it’s always wonderful!
I doubled the recipe. I used vegetable broth instead of water. I added pepper flakes instead of the cayenne which I’m not a fond of. I quartered Campari tomatoes. Added 6 green onions, sliced at an angle. It was a little bland so I added a smidge of Better Than Bouillon vegetable base. I was pleased with the outcome! Thanks for getting me started!
