Absolutely yummy, filling and easy to throw together. I followed the review suggesting using a couple of carrots and broth and the color is enhanced as well as the nutrional value. I drained the vegetables, reserving all the stock and added cups at a time as it pureed to ensure it wouldn't be over-thin. I'm glad I did because I think I only ended up using 3 or 4 cups to get a thickish soup. A+ for this one, thanks!
