    I like this recipe. It makes a lot, but you can add things to it to change the flavor each time you eat it. I did use tomato puree and low sodium broth to lower the sodium content. - 2/28/10

    I make this at least once a month and freeze it. It's great with chicken added for protein. I use a lot of spices to change it up. - 1/8/15

    My mom has a "diet soup" recipe that she makes: it's good, but this is GREAT! I only used a 10-oz. can of low-sodium chicken broth: I bet it would taste even better with all 48 oz. I'm doing GH's 7-day soup diet. Note: even using low sodium ck. broth: there is no need to add any salt to the soup. - 3/25/09
