I make this all the time and everyone always loves it! There's so much flavor and it's so easy to make! I would add a little water to make it soupier if it's too thick for your liking and garnish it to make it pretty for company, but this is a staple for me. It also feels very soothing and healthy, my mom made it for me when I recently got sick and it was like the vegetarians equivalent of chicken noodle soup. Definitely a comfort food. I make a whole lot at one time and freeze individual servings, it's a great quick meal!
