I had to make a few changes to accommodate what I needed to use up and what flavors I was looking for because I was really using this recipe as a base to imitate a soup I had at a restaurant last summer. I used 10 cups broth (as another reviewer suggested),I used juice and rind from 2 lemons, canned fire roasted diced tomatoes, and frozen chopped onion instead of chopping an onion. I also left out the corn and added 3 cups of cooked brown rice at the very end. It was amazing! Thanks for getting me off to an awesome start! I will absolutely be making this again with my adjustments.Reply
