I followed this recipe as written and it seemed to be missing something. Sitting over night didn't help. Not something I would make again<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"04\/11\/2011 18:46","GUID":"c5322727505a4098b47ff47623d2413c","MemberId":5575002,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"Susan's Kitchen","SubmittedDate":"04\/11\/2011 18:46"},{"Comment":"

I made this soup the night before I was having guests for dinner. At first I thought the soup was missing something so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper, still thought it was mising something. I refrigerated over night and reheated for dinner, it was delicious. I think the flavors just needed to come together overnight. I will make again.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"03\/30\/2011 23:33","GUID":"1F7BCC3CEAAC4152B37285D26D1FE85D","MemberId":548619,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"LegalSec","SubmittedDate":"03\/30\/2011 23:33"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"03\/30\/2011 22:44","GUID":"e30a720d3f384af19094d637e427e6a5","MemberId":4024380,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"get2bam","SubmittedDate":"03\/30\/2011 22:44"},{"Comment":"
