    This soup have very little flavor even though I added extra seasoning. My husbands comment was that it "tasted like diet food." It won't go on my list to make again.

    I have seen this recipe on here a few times since and this one seems to make the directions more complicated. - 1/23/09

    Really good. I think it might taste good with some zuchinni squash added in at the end of cooking, but it was great as is! - 3/27/08
