This is an excellent soup! It has been put into my favorite recipe file! I have made it several times and it is wonderful, especially on cold winter nights! I became a vegetarian only last year, and you don't miss the meat at all in this soup! I have followed this recipe as written (with one exception that I usually add some mushrooms). Last night, however, I tried one reviewers' tip to use 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar to replace the 1 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce. It came out too vinegar-tasting, and I had to add another quart of broth just so it was edible! I wanted to replace the Worchestershire sauce as it contains high fructose corn syrup and anchovies--which do not correspond with my diet--however, the vinegar was the wrong thing to put in the soup. I think next time I will make it without the vinegar or the Worchestershire sauce and see how it works out. BTW, to make it taste less tomatoey, use stewed tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes.
