The taste of this soup was very good. I did not add enough water so it came out a little mushy. My DH didn't think so but I will add more water next time. The only thing I changed was that I used garlic powder instead of cloves

This is a delicious soup. I made it for a rainy day while at the lake. It made a bit to much for DH and I so I shared it with our friends too. Thanks for sharing this delicious soup.
