This is very tasty and hearty! I only had chicken breast on hand and really wanted to try this soup, so I seasoned it with some cumin and blackening seasoning in place of the pepperoni. Threw in some kale at the end and it didn't change the taste at all...just added some nice color. Next time I will plan ahead so I can try the recipe as posted and I can give a more accurate review. Despite making a couple changes due to my fridge's contents, I love it! Will take it to lunch all this cold, rainy week!
