I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were great and the soup was very filling.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sausage and eggplant. It's also very affordable to make.

I would give this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and tasted good, but I found it to be a bit too oily.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland.

I love this soup! It's so flavorful and comforting. I always make a big batch and freeze the leftovers.

This was an easy and delicious soup to make. I used ground turkey instead of sausage and it was still very flavorful.

This soup was a hit! The flavors of the sausage, eggplant, and tomatoes were perfectly balanced. I especially loved the addition of the Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Will definitely be making this again.
