This recipe formed the base of a really simple, delicious soup great for cold winter nights. I used several of the suggestions listed below - I added a full can of tomato paste, four cloves of garlic, which I sauteed with the onion and 2 bay leaves. I also added a pinch each of cardamom and garam masala which gives the soup a nice aroma. And lastly, I added some finely chopped bacon to give it some extra flavor. This one was definitely a keeper!

This recipe has become a staple in our household. We regularly serve for ourselves and guests, and often send the recipe home with our guests, too. It's very easy to alter the recipe for the ingredients we have on hand - we've used different cheeses, and the quiche is also great with all sorts of garden vegetables - peppers, carrots, onions, even finely sliced green beans. Definitely a great recipe.
