    I felt it was lacking something to make it a special flavor so I added 1/2 tsp. of Chinese 5 spices and that was just what it was missing to make this a really good tasing soup. - 3/23/14

    This is an easy and tasty recipe however, I made a few changes. No bouillion - too high in salt. just water and fresh herbs to make a nice broth (fresh parsley, fresh thyme, & dried tarragon) with the garlic. then added in the potato, fennel and leeks. husband said still needed pepper. - 6/30/12

    This worked well and was delicious, but a bit bland. I added a little chili - greatly improved in my opinion. - 10/31/10
