    I added thyme to mine along with a little white cooking wine. Great any time of year.

    This was a bit bland and required a few extra herbs and spices for my taste, but it was a perfect use for the wilted lettuce I always end up throwing away, and wonderfully low in calories for such a substantial-seeming soup. - 6/2/12
