My husband and I agreed--this soup was awful. I thought the ingredients were kind of weird, but I trusted both Sara and the reviews, and went exactly by the recipe. The flavor was bland yet spicy, but in a one-layer sort of way. I'm not a chef, but I'll remake this soup right here: substitute the following: onions and garlic for the carrots and green pepper, chicken stock for the vegetable stock, cayenne or sambal for the paprika (lesser amt), English ale for the sherry, all flour or flour/cornstarch for the flour/dry milk. The texture was not smooth, but kind of gritty. Honestly, it was like she went out of her way to make it weird and bad! Those people at the other reviewer's party must have been very polite or very desperate!
