Rating:

This was a very strange dish that needed some other flavor because by its self it wasn''t very good. Also we had to add several ingrediants to make it taste like something you''d actually want to eat. Lastly we cooked it overnight in a crock pot which helped the flavors develop a bit more. Overall, it was too much work for a questionable soup.
