Excellent soup! I chose this recipe because I could easily adapt it to be low-carb, Atkins friendly. I don't like foods that combine sweet and savory, so all I had to do was eliminate the brown sugar. I did substitute 2 tsp of the artificial sweetener that comes in the big yellow bag. I also added a very hearty shake of crushed red pepper. My DH liked it so much he had two big bowls. I will be making this again.

I just got married in April 2012, so I'm a fairly new cook! I enjoy trying new recipes. My husband tells me I'm an amazing cook, which makes me feel good because he's a some what picky eater. My sisters told me about this site and from what I've seen, it's pretty awesome! Life is good, married life is even better, and God is Great!
