  1. Yum! Needed more seasoning. Used garlic, thyme, and a little cayenne. Felt free to add garden vegetable like zucchini and yellow summer squash.
     
  2. I have been making this recipe for about 15 years from a recipe in a Sunset cookbook I had. It is healthy and flavorful and a stable in my household. I follow the recipe exactly.
     
  3. This was amazing!!! I happened to have homemade stock in the freezer so I used that. I left out the potato & added 1 cup egg noodles to make it a little heartier. I also used 5 cups stock instead of 4. Delicious & healthy-thanks!!
     
  4. Delicious soup!! I love the basil and the cauliflower, they give the soup a unique flavor!! I love all the chunky vegetables!!! I left off the cheese but I am going to use it for the leftovers tomorrow night!! Loved this wonderful soup, thanks!!
     
  5. Great recipe! Lots of yummy veggies. Easy to make. It just takes time to chop, but no big deal. Makes a big pot of wonderful soup.
