I enjoy this recipe because it's meatless, inexpensive and simply delicious! You can substitute any vegetables you like-it's all a matter of preference. Serve warm pita bread on the side. -Geraldine Hennessey, Glendale, New York

This soup is a great base recipe. I've added different veggies and spices to it each time I've made it and it's always delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup is a little bit spicy for me, but it's still very good. I would recommend starting with a smaller amount of chili powder and adding more to taste.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. It was so easy to just throw everything in and let it cook all day.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover veggies. I added some chopped carrots and celery to mine and it was delicious.
