I have made this soup for a few years now and it's totally delicious. A meal in itself, you really don't need bread, crackers or anything else. I have just twiked it a little to suit our taste-a bit more salt, a little less onion. I put potatoes in the microwave wrapped in plastic wrap and in 10 minutes, they are done.
