Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. I was amazed at how flavorful it was considering the relatively few ingredients. Thanks for sharing this, I will absolutely be making this again in the future. Highly recommend it.

This soup was wonderful. I was worried it would be bland, with so few ingredients, but it was perfect. We used crusty bread to soak up the broth. So good.

This soup was so EASY and very good too. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I added a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning, but other than that followed the recipe!
