We liked it! Had this for lunch today along with Michelle's delicious recipe #173795. I used my hand-held blender thingie to cream the soup and added a bit of milk to thin it out. Next time I would reduce the marjoram and it seemed to overpower the other flavors. Thanks for posting Michelle! Made for ZWT, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles! I cut the recipe down to make 3 cups & used Merguez sausage instead of bacon but otherwise stuck to the recipe. The soup was for my kids & they really, really loved this! I will definitely be making this again as it is simple & so tasty. Thanks Michelle!

Great, hearty soup. I obmitted the bacon for my family of vegetarians and used chicken flavored broth but otherwise made as directed. I thought it was seasoned very well but I'm guessing most of the flavor comes from the broth you use so make sure to use a great one! Very oniony which I loved. Made for ZWT7
