This soup is fantastic as is and is well-deserved of 5 stars. I kicked it up a notch by adding half a teaspoon each of chipotle powder and cumin. I had also made a roast the day before which I diced and used as the meat. This will likely become a staple soup. Thanks!

This recipe came to me as an email recipe of the day a while back. I love meatloaf and I LOVE dill pickles, but it sounded odd even to me. I had to try it. I have honestly made it about 5 or 6 times in the past 6 months and I absolutely LOVE it. I am a bit obsessive with watching my weight, so I use ground chicken instead of beef and I sub the egg for just egg white. I also prefer using a light sweet bbq sauce instead of the ketchup mixture and breadcrumbs instead of a slice of bread, but that's just my taste. Honestly, this is one of the best recipes I've tried from this site. Thanks so much for the contribution!!

Great recipe! I added a couple of teaspoons of red wine as well.
