This is a really good old-fashioned recipe! Easy to make and tasty. Someone ate all my carrots so I subbed frozen green beans and also used bow tie pasta to appeal to the kids. They liked it too! I did add some paprika at the end, but thought it could use a little more seasoning. Perhaps some parsley and garlic. I used light cream also, so my soup was slightly creamy and deliciously soupy. Thanks!
