Unusual but good. Made it with homemade Italian sausage formed into itty bitty balls. The sausage flavor greatly impacts the overall flavor of the soup, of course.

I absolutely love this soup! I added a small jar of roasted poblanos and one juice from a lemon! Definitely make this again! You have to love cilantro in order to like this soup....

Made this soup Just as it stated but added a cup of rice the last 20 min. Adding the rice made it a thicker more filling soup. Overall it was a pretty darn good soup easy to make too. Definitely going to make this soup again, especially on a rainy day. Loved it!!! :)

Tried it and loved it. Though even as a strict meat-a-tarian I would consider cutting the amount of Sausage. Heavy protein meal, but a perfect winter meal. Now I might not be able to get up for a day or so.

Like others I used Chick Peas instead of Hominy. My grocer did not have hot italian sausage so I used 1/2 regular italian and 1/2 Chorizo. I also bought it in bulk so I did not have to mess with the casings. It was amazing. The spice of the Chorizo was just enough to give it a little kick. Thanks for the great recipe.

Great soup - though I agree with some other reviewers, way to heavy on the cilantro. I ended up using about half a cup of cilantro with half a cup of parsley, but it was still to overpowering of a flavor. Next time I'm going to cut the cilantro to 1/4 a cup and see how it tastes. I also cut up some potato and threw it in. While the ratio of sausage to vegetable is great/tasty, next time I'm also going to increase the veggies and cut out a pound of the sausage to make it healthier. Definitely worth a try.

This soup is FANTASTIC. Without beef broth in the cupboard, I used beef bullion (so I didn't add salt). Used only one pound (didn't have two) hot Italian sausage. I hesitated with two whole cups of cilantro, but threw it all in and it was divine. I made open faced grilled cheese in the toaster oven on sourdough for an excellent compliment. PERFECT.

I had to alter the recipe based on what I had on hand. Left out the beans, used one can of beef broth and one can of chicken broth, added chopped green pepers, no cilantro. Still came out good. We used extra hot sausauges and I think that added to the flavor of the soup as well. Overall came out very tasty!! Easy to modify based on what you have.

this is wonderful! i've made it several times and its consistently delicious. i sometimes add even more cilantro, but i'm a major cilantro fan, so others may not want to do the same. :) thanks so much for this, my favorite go-to soup in the winter.

This was really, really good. I did not use hominy or beans because I didn't have any. I added 1/4 cup shell pasta while simmering. The cilantro really makes the dish.
