Updated soup recipe below

I made a few changes to my soup recipe, below. All are noted by boldface. The strange part for me is trying to remember what I did as an improvisational cooking experiment about a year ago, trying to imaging what I did do then and what I would do now were I to make another pot.

I'm sure I mis-imagined some things, so if you make it, please email me and tell me what you did and did not like. Or what you changed and how that affected the soup.
