This was a very good recipe. I made some changes: I added 2 onions, 4 carrots, 4 stalks of celery, 6 garlic cloves. I doubled all of the spices and added a dash of hot sauce for a little extra flavor. I also tripled the amount of vinegar. I did need to add extra water as the soup cooked otherwise it would have been too thick. Next time I would use vegetable stock in addition to the water. My family & I enjoyed this very much.

This is a fantastic recipe! Very simple yet completely satisfying. I only made small changes: I used 4 cloves of garlic & added garlic powder & onion salt as well. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I will make this recipe again in the future.

Absolutely fabulous! This recipe was simple to prepare and it came out great! I made only slight variations: I used 2 chopped onions and 6 chopped carrots. I used 6 cloves of garlic and went a little bit heavier on the seasoning ( I like a lot of flavor and spice!). I omitted the corn for personal taste. The only thing I would do differently is add more whole beans to make the soup heartier. Next time I will double or even triple the recipe and freeze some for leftovers. This will definitely become a staple in my recipe box!
