I make a variation on this that's pretty much a full meal - take Italian sausage out of its casings and blend that into the soup. Omit the sugar and spices; just add some pepper, sage or whatever instead. Total comfort food on a cold night.

Oh, I forgot: when I make that recipe, I add a can of mushroom pieces and stems or 5 or 6 large fresh mushrooms, chopped.
