This soup was very good. I made it as written except for the fire-roasted tomatoes, which I don't like so I used stewed tomatoes instead and I left out the red-pepper flakes. I was very liberal with the black pepper and added some salt, too

DH made this for the family and we all enjoyed it. He did not cut the potatoes into small enough chunks though. Will be making this soup again!
