SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was quick, I needed a soup to take to work for lunch. I added a few more spices and it was perfect..
I too found this slightly bland, but still delicious and super easy. Definitely will add more spices next time.
This was a good, basic recipe, but I found it a little bland. Not that that's always a bad thing, mind you...but I was just hoping for a little more flavor. I might experiment with it and see what else I can add to it. It's very healthy, though, which is always a good thing!
mrr great with toast!!
