A very hearty winter soup and easy to make. After reading some of the comments posted here, I also used mostly vegetable stock but also added water because the soup is so chunky. Will definitely be adding this to my favorites to make again. Enjoy!

2/14/2011 03:55:58 PM Report AbuseI thought this recipe was fabulous. I used vegetable base from a jar instead of stock, which was great, and no MSG. I didn't find it bland at all.
