Inez, you have nursed me back to health! I've been stuffed up with a cold, feeling rotten all over and not wanting to eat a thing. My boyfriend went looking for a recipe that I would eat and he chose this soup. It was so delicious I had two bowls and that's saying something because I hadn't eaten anything but ice cream for a day. The steam cleared my nose, the veggies and hearty broth filled me up. And I feel so much better now. Must have been the soup that did it! -
This soup was really lovely. I used my homemade chicken stock and added some noodles five minutes towards the end. The is real comfort food. Thanks so much for sharing. -
Mu DH just loved it. I had chicken left over from the night before, and used Campbell's Chicken broth. I did omit the cream however this time as we both have a bit of Sinusitis; therefore it's best to avoid dairy! -
I'm seeing all these changes that people made to this soup. I guess ... Different strokes.<br/>My wife and I discussed it and decided that it is GREAT just as the recipe is given.

This soup was a delicious hit at my house. My husband went back for seconds and the next day we both wanted the leftovers for lunch. I cooked a whole chicken and put in celery, onion, carrots, 2 bay leaves and some pepper and parsely, and used the broth from this. Just fantastic!

Yum! This is so good.. i follwed the recipe exact except that I added Marjoram instead of Thyme since we don`t like thyme.

This really hit the spot on this cold, rainy February day! I had to make some adjustments based on what I had. I cut the liquid portion in half, used leftover rotisserie chicken, a can of mixed vegetables, some leftover green beans, and whole milk instead of cream. I also added some egg noodles. Delish! -
Yummy! I substituted the cream with a touch of sour cream b/c that's all I had. (Which worked great!) Didn't have thyme, so I added a bit of rubbed sage, parsley and cilantro. Topped it off with a couple handfuls of Egg Noodles.. All 3 of my kids loved it and want me to make it again! Yes!<br/>*Ommited the bouillon cubes b/c it was already salty enough, nothing worse than too salty of a soup b/c than it's ruined

VERY good! I added a couple of handfuls of very fine noodles during the last 10 minutes of simmering. Also substituted evaporated milk for the cream. Adding this to my growing collection of soup recipes!!! -
Very comforting soup. I made two small adjustments to the recipe: I used red pepper instead of green and instead of cream, I made a roux initially and added the stock gradually for a thicker, but lighter in calories, soup. Thanks for sharing!!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
