The aroma of this soup simmering on the stove makes the kitchen smell so good! My family agrees the second helping tastes even better than the first! If there are any leftovers, I pop them in the freezer. - Jean Fisher, Waynesboro, Pennsylvania

The recipe calls for 14 cups of water. If I had used that much water, the soup would be incredibly bland. I assumed it was maybe 4 cups of water and got an average soup. I used fire roasted tomatoes, which made my taste buds ask for more kick, so I added cumin and chili powder. Then I added some garlic powder. Fantastic! I'm going to serve it with fresh cilantro and chopped green onions with Peppy Cheese Bread from this site. (Oh, and I used 1.5 lbs of ground chicken.) Now that "my" stew is good, it was hard for me to rate the actual recipe.
