     I thought it was really good without pureeing it. I have no way to puree it... I added more spices and it was REALLY good!!!! I just double the spices that were recommended. I also grated about an ounce of cheese into my bowl and it was phenomenal. Just a suggestion :) - 3/28/11

    Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it very much. An option would be to include leek, but I didn't have it that day, so I left it out.

     I made this with homemade veggie broth that just happened to have pear and apple cores in it. It turned out incredibly. Thanks for the recipe. simple and delicious.

     This is basically my go-to quick supper. Changes are no water but 1 15oz can chicken broth plus a smallest can of condensed milk. Even in summer it is a great 'soother' of nerves! Well, we do have a/c : ) Thank you for posting this. - 3/16/12

     I am new to cooking, I didn't know what to do about the amount of spices or that bay leaves just simmer and then are removed. But I made it work and it was good. Next time I will know how to season it better. Also since I need more protein, I threw some pre-cooked seasoned ground beef to my bowl. - 10/31/11

     EXCELLENT! To my taste, I added just a bit of garlic (about 1/2 t. crushed garlic.) - 7/16/11

     not so good in cooking so can you please explain this: "Use a food processor to puree the soup. After that, return puree to the soup, stir and heat through." --does it mean i should puree the soup first and then what? how do i reverse the puree back to being a soup? just didn't understand here. help - 6/8/11

     So simple yet so good! I made half the recipe (for just 2 of us) and will be making again. I used half chicken broth and half water. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. - 2/5/11

     This was easy to make. I did not have white potato in the house so I substituted sweet potato. Making it now. will come back with results.
    PS I live a miles away from a store and its a cold day. LOL - 12/9/10

     I cant get over just how good this soup is. I started out thinking for sure I would need to add some cream to it in the end, but was so glad I didn't because it was great the way that it was. I did us half chicken broth and I added some nutmeg on the top when I served it. - 11/9/10
