SO HOW'D IT GO?
Excellent soup for a cold autumn night.
I didn't have any cilantro or parsley, so I used a couple T of Italian seasoning. I also added about 1/2 c red wine at the last 15 minutes. It gave a nice depth! Delicious, hearty soup!!
Also, the recipe doesn't list a garlic amount. I used 2 cloves and it seemed enough to me.
