I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I like to add a bit of extra spice to mine, but that's just my personal preference. I highly recommend this recipe.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I found it to be a bit bland and the beans were a bit undercooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
