This soup is a little spicy but extremely yummy. You can add rice to it if you want to stretch it or make it a bit hardier. I tried it out with a friend as directed and we both loved it.

12/10/2010 07:10:47 PM Report AbuseThe picture makes this soup look very tasty and it just may be so but there are way too many ingredients for me and ones that I won't normally keep in my pantry . I probably would prefer beef or chicken over the ham as well. Don't mean to bash this soup before I've even tried it out but wow, does it really need All that stuff? Really?
