I thoroughly enjoyed this healthy and easy-to-make soup. I made minor changes. Doubled the garlic, used chicken stock in place of water and bouillon cube, and added extra cabbage. Taco sauce and lima beans replaced the two ingredients that are not easily found in Australia. Topped it all off with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro (coriander). Heaven on a spoon! Made and reviewed for Pick a Chef. From one Peg to another -- Many thanks.
