Very good. I forgot the beans though and added carrots.

Perfect for a cold winter night.

In order to lower the amt of sodium, I'd omit the beef bouillon and replace it with 2 to 4 cups of beef broth. I'll have to prepare this and will report how it comes out. YZazueta, Riverside, CA

This was ok. I'll try to add some beans or corn or something next time. It was lacking something.

This is an excellent soup. The only thing I'd change is I don't much like beans in my soups, so I'd probably leave them out.
