Oh my goodness, this was so yummy. At the end, before I added the salt/pepper/paste, I tasted it, and it was so dang good that I didn't even think it needed added salt or pepper. And because I so loved the taste as is, I didn't even add the paste. I doubled the recipe..for leftovers..but only added 6 cups water and used that really $$ veggie broth powder from the HFS. I used 3 tsps of powder. Oh..seeing as I love garlic so much, I added 6 cloves. YES. SIX. :O To die for recipe Diana. I forgot to mention. I took a bit of the soup aside and tried the vinegar, and I really did not like that taste. I will leave that as an aside for anyone who wants to add on their own.

This is fantastic. Just made a little change. Doubled the sauce..only used 2 Tbsp balsamic..and 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar. My 9 year old taste tester said she liked them a little sweeter. Oh..and I steamed the baby carrots beforehand. YUMMY!!
