  1. A ver "homey" tasting soup. It's basic and nothing fancy, but it's really great. I loved the bits of hard-boiled eggs. I reduced the cooking butter to 2 tbsp and used fat free evapoated milk to cut some fat calories. I did float a pat of butter on top to serve. Thanx for sharing!
     
  2. Great soup! I usually make it like this but I add finely shopped carrot with the celery and onion. I have never used egg and it is a nice change!
     
  3. This is a keeper. Has great taste!
     
  4. Very good soup! All I did was add some garlic powder and thyme.
