Have made this twice now. The first time, I tinkered with the recipe (based on my available ingredients) and thought it was okay but not great. The second time, I followed the recipe precisely using a really good quality of canned tomatoes. The second time was better than the first (no question), but both times my sweet baboo said "Too Tomato-ey". I think that the answer for us (if we make this again) will be the addition of cheese or ham (or both).
