I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were great and the eggplant was cooked perfectly.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add more broth next time.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it was perfect! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use mild Italian sausage instead of hot.

This was a great soup! I used ground turkey instead of Italian sausage and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped spinach and it was a great addition.
