Surprisingly good! As I was making it, I was worried it wouldn't end up with much flavor, but the broth was so good we ended up slurping it out of the bowl. You also don't feel bad for taking seconds, it is so healthy! We added a feta cheese sprinkle on top, I think this made the dish great!!
11/30/2011 10:21:19 AM Report AbuseSoup was mediocre at best. It seemed to lack flavor and depth. Of course the addition of the red vinegar add depth, it still tasted a bit lifeless. I don't think I'll make it again.

8/19/2010 09:30:06 AM Report AbuseThis soup is quite unusual but one of our favorites. Takes the chill off for winter and also contains many healthy vegetables that many not appear in other menu items. Easy to make, but takes me a bit more time than designated in the recipe.
