“I don't know why this recipe has such a high rating. It is WATERED DOWN and BLAND. If you decide to make this anyway, please do not put no where near 12 cups of water in it. I put 10 cups in only because my pot could not handle 12. In the back of my mind I kep” — a cook, 2★
“I made this true to recipe and have to agree with other reviewers that it is too watered down and needs more spice. So...I added much more tomato paste, more celery and the following list of spices: Tony's Creole seasoning, Old Bay, garlic salt, garlic powder,” — a cook, 5★
