    A good soup. I added more home seasoning. - 3/26/21

    I made a few adjustments: used homemade vegetable stock instead of chick, cut the milk in half and used half potato puree. Really quite delicious. Thanks. - 11/17/19

    hOMEMADE VEG. STOCK OR LOW SODIUM CHICK. STOCK WON'T HURT THIS AT ALL! I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THIS SPRING. - 6/12/09

    I substituted my no-salt homemade vegetable broth. Chicken broth is loaded with sodium. Also used soymilk to make it vegan. - 6/10/08
