Great soup! Gotta love an easy and tasty soup made from staple ingredients that are always on hand. The only ingredient I didn't have was fresh green beans so I used canned (1) and just added them during the last 5 minutes of cooking. I served this over cornbread instead of using the optional rice. Flavorful and just spicy enough - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2012
