Tasty. Adding tomato sauce, as someone suggested, would ruin it in my opinion. How about adding a few mushrooms instead of artichoke hearts and fresh peas instead of frozen? - 7/8/10

Very delicious just add some hot peppers yellow and red. Very good to have before you eat your heavy meal. My family and friends love this when we have big dinners. - 7/8/10

It was a little bland, so added buillion and fresh cilantro. It tasted a lot better. - 4/3/08

Sounds great! I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I will probably partially blend it because I find that thickens soup nicely while still leaving some nice chunks to munch on. - 7/9/10

I will make this the first cooler day we get. I want to use fresh basil and garden diced tomatoes as a garnish. And sub edemmae for the peas. I'm using yellow squash AND some zucchini seeing it is summertime. I'll use just zucchini in the winter months. Scallions. This is a great recipe. Thank! - 7/8/10

I don't like eating soup in the summer months. I know it's silly, but I will save this for the first cool day we get. - 7/8/10

I made this today and added ingredients a couple of extra ingredients, 1 small can of tomatoe sauce to make it "Italian" and a couple of boullion cubes. I felt something was missing in the flavor department. - 4/2/08

think real onion and real garlic, along with fresh peas, would help. Needs a little more salt, think cilantro would add to it also. - 7/9/10
