This was delicious! Not too stew-y but not watery either, the perfect consistency. I had to add more spices at the end of the cooking time though. (We like pronounced flavor.) I also omitted the thyme and used freshly cooked black beans. Served with a dollop of creamy, mild guacamole. Very good on a cold, snowy day. Thanks for posting. cg -
You are amazing to be able to create something like this!!! This soup is incredible - followed your recipe exactly and added some pre-microwaved diced carrots, celery, and green pepper. Can't wait to have it again - you are a genius flower7!!! Thank you.

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
