  1. As with many recipe that call for potatoes, I didn't peel them but just diced them up after scrubbing them well! Also used just 1/4 teaspoon of salt & added a 1/4 teaspoon of lemon pepper, along with the other seasonings, & the soup was absolutely wonderful! A great cold weather treat, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC recipe tag]
     
  2. Very good even though it isn't winter. It is flavourful. I did use chicken broth instead of water so decreased the salt a bit. It will definately be at our table again.
     
  3. The recipe was easy to prepare. I added one minced garlic clove for more flavor and used sea salt. My kids, who normally don't like vegetables, loved this recipe as well. For the parsley, I used dried Italian parsley for more flavor as well.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
