This is excellent. I always change things up to my tastes, but this one I can do as written. Things I have changed are: substitute lime juice instead of lemon, omit the oregano, and add less of the tomato paste. Will be making fore year to come.

Well, I tried not to add too much flour, but I always do, so these did not turn out like the fluffy biscuits that the recipe touts. That not to say that they weren't Loved! I kind of think they tasted like a bit like KFC's biscuits, but then again I am not a biscuit connoisseur. We had them with sausage and gravy. Good combination. Easy to make.

This was a good way to use left over ham. My situation was similar to the previous poster, I needed to make 12 servings and I did not have celery. So, I substituted the salt for celery salt but only added two teaspoons (for 12 servings 2.5 tsp was indicated) of this. The ham I used was leftover shank I had in the freezer - no bone, I used that for ham and bean soup, and I did add a bit more than the recipe states. I also added a little more water than called for because I wanted to simmer it longer. I also had to substitute some of the cheddar cheese for american and mozzerella. All in all very good, and simple to do in a pinch. Note: my soup looked more orange and 'cheesy' than in the picture.
