I increased the beef broth to 4 cups and used 10 cups water, 2 bay leaves, and about 1 lb mushrooms. This soup was excellent. The cinnamon stick was a nice touch. Soup was thick and rich and we really enjoyed it. Thanks Bev for another keeper. -
This was a wonderful smelling soup while simmering on the stove. We could hardly wait to give it a try. My husband and I were very impressed with the flavor and I agree with the other reviewer, the cinnamon is a nice touch. Thank you for a great recipe. -
Yummy! Nutrition at it's best. My wife made me make it two weeks in a row. Even my kids loved it. Thanks for sharing your recipe. -
What a great soup! Very easy to throw together, and only one pot! This smells wonderful while cooking. I really liked the flavor of the cinnamon! I didn't have any mushrooms (oops!) So I threw in a zucchini and a potato and it was just delicious! My two little ones agreed! There bowls were clean! Yeah! Thanks for a great recipe Bev! -
