This is my first review as a "newbie" to this website. I registered simply because I want to RAVE about this awesome soup recipe! I made it today, and it will be dinner tonight with some cornbread...IF it lasts that long! I didn't have 4 cups of chicken broth, so I had to add 4 oz of water, which didn't hurt a thing. I followed the recipe, except that I mashed 1 can of beans. I also added a clove of minced garlic to the carrots, onion and celery saute, and added 3 cups of diced Cure 81 ham to the skillet, so it would add some flavor to the veggies. I also added about 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1/8 tsp Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (green can) to the soup, and will add a cup of frozen green peas about 15 minutes before serving tonight. This is one of the tastiest soups I've ever made! The flavor is rich and complex, with many layers. My hubby tasted it at lunchtime, and thought it was fabulous. I only let him have a taste, though, since he had already had a sandwich. I have a feeling we'll be making this a LOT during the cold weather...what a perfect comfort food! After reading all the reviews, I knew I had to try it, but I'm totally in awe of how good this really is! Don't hesitate for a SECOND, ladies. It tastes like you spent HOURS on it! It's going to be one of those prize recipes in your arsenal that will have everyone begging you to make it. If I could give it 100 stars, I definitely would. Thanks for the most delicious soup
