Just tried this soup recipe and wow, it’s so hearty and flavorful! Thanks, Sandra, for sharing. 😊
can i use veggie sausage in this, Sandra? got a veg at home lol
I’ve used veggie sausages before and it comes out great!
i always throw in extra chili flakes, makes it just right for me, not enough spice in the original recipe for my taste
cooking this soup was like creating a symphony in my pot, though my symphony needed more garlic, lol
If I were cooking this in the middle ages, I’d definitely need a fire-breathing dragon to simmer this magical potion!
Looks good, but is there a way to make it in less time?
I swapped tomatoes for bell peppers coz i ran out, still turned out pretty good.
