I added black beans to the recipe and also a can of chicken broth to help the soup be thinner. I also used brown rice which was pre cooked and once it was almost all the way cooked I added it to the soup mixture. This way it absorbed some of the tomato flavor. The overall flavor was not significant so next time I would saute a half an onion, the carrots and some celery until soft and then add some garlic. Then add the tomato and chicken broth and also some tomato paste to help with the consistency.

This was a pretty good soup. I used dry garbanzos so I quick-soaked them (boiled for a couple minutes and let sit a couple hours in the hot water). They were still not quite tender enough, but the soup's flavors were good. It needed more water than called for so I also added some vegetable base to give it more flavor (boullion "paste" I use from a jar). I also added celery. UPDATE: I discovered later that dried garbanzos require soaking time (overnight or the quick-soak method I mentioned above), plus up to an hour and a half of cooking time! In the soup they probably only got 30-45 minutes, so that explained their hardness. I'll save time next time by using canned, or plan ahead more!

Excellent! I did use chicken broth instead of water and substituted the carrots with Ukrainian sausage. I substituted the red pepper flakes with cayenne pepper. Yum!

This was okay, but nothing more. I liked the thickness of it, almost like stew, but there was something missing in the flavor mixture. If I were to make it again (which I won't), I'd use much less crushed red pepper. It left an afterburn in my mouth that I still felt 30 minutes later.

Excellent vegetarian meal. I used diced mushrooms instead of carrots and used brown rice (cooked it first) and added a sauteed shallot. I also used chicken broth instead of water. Nice spicy kick - will share this recipe with others!

This had a nice flavor. I used black beans, instead of garbanzos to give a more mexican flavor. Leftover thickened up real good and were used as a burrito filling. Thank you for sharing.

I like it, but it would've been better with a little less tomato in it. I used chicken stock instead of water. Overall - it was good for a cold day! I liked the rice in it!
