This recipe looks interesting. Question - no Italian seasoning? Only the HVR mix? Thanks

A hearty, filling and delicious soup.... I had no Hidden Valley ranch mix so made my own. Also added a couple bay leaves, a couple dashes of hot sauce. Simmered for about 1 hour to marry the flavours. At the very end I added about 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro/parsley combo. Try to use fresh tomatoes as the recipe states rather than canned, it really makes it!

Delicious ! I made the soup as directed using 3 chicken breasts and 48 oz of chicken broth. The p-armesan cheese rind gave the soup a wonderful flavor.

Finally got to give this one a try. It fits in well with me trying to improve my diet to include lots of colorful vegetables plus a nice dose of healthy protein with the chicken and beans. I used regular carrots cut into bite-size chunks instead of baby carrots.

I've got everything in my cabinet except the shallots. Going to make this next week, it's time for soup! Here is the update. Very good soup and love the fresh ingredients. My family really enjoyed it and I will be making it again.
