**REVIEWs: " spicy vegetable soup. I added corn and it was fabulous. Easy to put

together after work. "

 

 

 

" I'd make this again. Try adding some dried black mushrooms(asian market maybe,

sometimes costco). The feel is meaty, but the truth..veggie. Pureed roasted

eggplant was also a great addition. "

 

 

 

" Easy and delicious. I substituted hot pepper sauce for jalapeno one time and it

was just as good. "
