Sorry this soup was not good. Did not have much taste other the taste of the tom. Paste. A waste of money and time. Will not make this again. No one in the family wanted it. The picture of this soup does not show the real color, red. Had to throw it out. T.

This was very good and filling. I used fresh cooked corned beef rather than canned. I sampled a taste after simmering and it was very good, but just needed something more. I added some ground caraway seeds (I was out of whole) ad simmered some more and that did the trick for me! I know this is meant to be low-carb, but since I'm a carb freak, I'd love to add some diced potatoes next time. Thanx for a yummy soup!
