Made this for Zaar Alphabet Soup tag game and DH and I really like this. I did cut it down for the two of us, used more pasta per some reviews, used a can of rotel tomatoes (which I liked the spice of) and used some adzuki beans which I had leftover from cooking them up the other day. Otherwise I followed the recipe. Next time I will add some corn but we really enjoyed this for dinner with a green salad and some french bread. Thank you for posting.1Reply
