This recipe I made up after craving soup and rummaging through my cupboards. Very simple and tastes even better the next day. I love it spicy, but you can adjust accordingly. Also great South Beach Diet meal.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste, but it had a great flavor. I think I'll try thinning it out with some broth next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.
