I got this in an on-line recipe swap and it comes from my Aunt Phyllis's friend Nancy's daughter! It's easy to make and tastes better the NEXT day!

We enjoyed this. It's a unique taste and this recipe makes a lot so it could easily be cut in half. I also added two cloves of garlic. I teamed this up with #80113 for a little more substance. I'm glad I did because I don't think this would stick my ribs very well.

This was awesome! The only thing I did differently was add 1 minced garlic clove, and I don't have any cilantro. I was a little leary about the cinnamon, but it gave it such a nice sweat taste. I've been sampling it all day long and can't wait for a full bowl for dinner.

Nice and flavourful soup. I made a chicken broth with the water by adding chicken boullion. I omitted the ginger and cinnamon. I reduced the amount of celery, carrots and onions and added 1 smashed garlic clove. I also opened a can of white beans instead of garbanzo, so you guessed it, I subbed.Thanks for the recipe
