I've made this one and really like it. I double the spices and use Sherry instead of vinegar, and top with Swiss cheese. Yummm.

Yes, double garlic, oregano, bay and basil. I like soups that are a bit stronger flavored. I also use broth instead of water, but I forgot to mention that the first time around!
