I've never found anyone that didn't love it. Even when they hear the ingredients & think they won't like it, they finish every drop! Excellent for soup suppers or potluck, easily made on stove top or crock pot!

I made this soup with some leftover vegetables that I had in my fridge. It turned out great! The soup was flavorful and hearty, and it was a great way to use up my leftover vegetables.

I'm a vegan and I made this soup without the sausage or the cheese. It was still really good! The soup was flavorful and hearty, and it was easy to make.

I made this soup in my Instant Pot and it turned out great! The soup was flavorful and hearty, and it was so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in the Instant Pot and cooked it on high pressure for 10 minutes.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili flakes than the recipe calls for.

I thought this soup was bland and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I would probably make it again if I had all the ingredients on hand, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add a little bit of extra vegetables, but that's just my personal preference. Highly recommend it!

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. It's so hearty and flavorful, and it's perfect for a cold winter day.
