Overall the recipe is okay, but I would definately make some modifications if I were to make again. We prefer a little thicker soup so I would reduce the water and add another can of tomato sauce or a can of diced or stewed tomatoes. Also, the broth is a little one dimensional so I would add in some garlic and other seasoning when browning the beef.

This recipe is okay but not as good I expected based on all the reviews. I followed the recipe exactly except for leaving out the bacon bits (because I didn't have any)and I found it to be way to salty - I cant imagine how salty it would have been if I ate my bowl with corn chips as the recipe recommended. Next time I think I will leave out some of the bouillon and see if that helps. It's a good base though.

I am not sure whether it was too much liquid or too long of a cooking time but the rice was mushy and there was too much liquid. Also, next time I might add cooked shrimp at the last minute, didnt really care for the texture of the shrimp with this cooking method. This recipe was better day two. Would be better with a few tweaks. Thanks.
