We all really enjoyed this soup. My kids wanted cheese in theirs, so I shredded some in. Even better! My fiance wants me to make it again soon. Thanks for the recipe!

I don't usually follow a recipe to the letter but I did in this case. I was intrigued by the addition of the Greek seasoning. I loved it, it smelled great and tasted even better. Very simple to put together, a real keeper!

Made this the other night. I of course used more garlic and Cavendar's. Terrific flavor and easy to make. Boyfriend loved it and he's a "meat 'n taters" man. The only thing that keeps it from a 5 star is because it's not very filling for a "Cream of" soup. Nice tasty soup for lunch though.
