The great variety of spices in this soup give it a truly wonderful aroma and flavor.It goes so well with fresh baked french bread,don't skip the cilantro either, it's like the cherry on top.

True comfort food. I served it to a friend that is just getting over major surgery and a whole large bowlful disappeared! The cilantro gives it the final flavor boost, don't over do it, follow the recipe and it is just right. Very healthy soup loaded with natural flavors. I used have chicken stock & half water to give it even more nourishment. Thanks Saguaro for this tasty recipe
