I loved this soup as did my family including the kids. I did not read the recipe carefully before shopping and only bought one pound of bacon by accident. It still turned out great and I think 2 pounds would be too much as it turns out. The only other change was that I did not use 4 tablespoons of rosemary because it smelled so strong with just two tablespoons that I opted not to use the rest. I actually strained the rosemary out after a few minutes...it left a light flavor without being too overpowering. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderfully. I will make this again.

The main flavor of this soup was the chicken broth and not the asparagus. It was okay, but not at all what I was hoping for. My husband did not like it. I wouldn't make it again.

Given all the great reviews, I really expected this to just taste great. What a dissapointment. Neither my husband nor myself enjoyed this. We ate it - I guess I will say it is edible, but no one in the family got seconds. We couldn't put our finger on it, but one of the ingredients just gave it an odd taste...perhaps the brown sugar? It really did not taste at all like Spanish rice. I will not make this again.
