I don't know how to say it, but I am enjoying eating it.
I ended up with extra red beans left over from a weekend pot of chili, so I searched my favorite recipe site for a new soup with red beans. This one looked promising so I gave it a try.
I'm glad I did.
I did make a few changes:
- I used Hormel nitrite free Canadian Bacon for the meat
- I omitted the tomato soup and used 1 can of diced tomatoes with juice
- I also added a can of tomato sauce
- I used a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar instead of white distilled vinegar
- I used 1 cup of whole wheat elbow pasta & added it to the soup before it simmered for the hour
- I only used one 32oz box of organic chicken stock
- I added the amount of spices in recipe despite what the reviewers said
I also added a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the top of my bowl.
This is a keeper!
