It was OK. It makes quite a few dirty dishes in prep. We thought it could use more flavor. I cooked recipe as is and no one was too impressed. We also thought there was too much pepper and salt. And found it to be a bit dry it needed more moisture. I love the idea of the tomato soup but I think a little more would have been better. I doubt I will make it again. It was still worth a try and I wanted to say thanks for posting the recipe.
