Sorry, but this was completely flat. No one would eat it.

Not bad but I too needed to add some flavour. Like Carla I used Vegetable stock instead of water and I added garlic. I added 2 rashers of lean bacon (trimmed of all fat) and some chopped fresh parsley just before serving. Also used non fat evaporated milk instead of normal milk.

This is decent for a low calorie soup, but the recipe is very basic and in need of additional flavor. I used 3 cups of vegetable stock, in place of the water and omitted the chicken bouillon. I added 2 cloves of minced garlic, fresh bay leaves (remove before pureeing) and thyme, in addition to salt and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoyed the soup - thanks for posting.
