Heart warming marriage between Southern North America and the Carribean... Incredibly tasty... Makes my mouth happy and leaves a good after taste.

Had a good taste, just a bit too thick and rich would not suggest use in a multiple course meal.

This soup was very good, and fairly simple to make. We found it to be very rich, and it was best eaten in small servings rather than a big bowl.
