This definitely does not make 6 servings. It makes more like 16. I was serving this as a side for a 60 person lunch - so I assumed it would serve 12 people as a side and made 5x the recipe. Note - while I was making the soup I also cut down the amount of water - 16 cups is a LOT of water. I had an ENTIRE HUGE POT of soup leftover. The end result was really good, but the recipe needs a lot of tweaking!
