I'm not sure about assigning stars so I'm not going to. I made 2 servings and followed the recipe down the line. I used the ask for 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomato's (dry pac) and it really took over. It colored everything a deep purple red and even the zucchini ended up looking like beet. It also overpowered everything flavor wise. The seasonings and veggies pretty much vanished under the dried tomatoes. I know that it has to be my tomatoes by comparing my soup with Maito's photo. I'd be willing to try this again without using them.

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p>
