This is a one-star recipe if you use the amount of salt indicated in the recipe. It was inedible despite all efforts to salvage it. You should probably use no more than a teaspoon, total, rather than a tablespoon. With the smaller amount of salt, I suspect this recipe would be delicious. -
I wish I would have read the reviews before I made this! It was inedible! Like chewing on a salt lick! It should be 1 tsp of salt, not 1 tablespoon! -
Yummy!!! Only used a few sprinkles of salt though, it seems that your recipe uses too much. -
Seriously simple, yet fabulous. I made this as written using the crushed red pepper in half the amount listed. Thanx for an easy and tasty way to fix some healthy greens! -
i love this soup. I saw it on a cooking show a few years ago, only difference is I had two packages of refrigerated tortillinis and a bit of flour to thicken make the broth a little thicker for personal preference.

Stay at home mom of 3, horse crazy vegetarian of 9 years. My passion is my 6 year old showjumping horse, Platinum Card (aka CASH) I ride on average 6 days a week and LOVE every minute of it! My other passion is food. I was raised with strong Italian grandparents living close by, need I say more!! One of my favorite childhood memories is rolling my grandmom's homemade Gnocci (ALWAYS my special request dinner) at her kitchen table with towel lined cookie sheets of them all over the house! My other grandparents were of Irish and German ancestory and owned a resturant. I guess my love of cooking and even more so, FEEDING people has come naturally. I love to plan menus and themes and I am addicted to Recipezaar! I am married to my best friend who is an ex-Pat New Zealander who craves pies & pineapple lumps. We love travel, soccer & rugby! Teenagers are my only pet-peeve :)
