Introduction

this isn't super low fat or anything but it is really nice and hearty and good for eating seasonally in the winter! it's also very filling and you could probably turn this into 8 servings if you ate a salad or piece of bread on the side. this isn't super low fat or anything but it is really nice and hearty and good for eating seasonally in the winter! it's also very filling and you could probably turn this into 8 servings if you ate a salad or piece of bread on the side.

    Very Good
    This is a very yummy soup. I didn't use cream or feta but sprinkled with some milled flaxseed, pumpkin and sunflower seeds for extra nutritional benefit. Roasted with some thyme for approx. 40 minutes. - 6/1/10
