I am very bad at eating veggies but this soup turned out great. I sauteed the onion, pepper and carrots in some butter before I threw everything else in with the broth. Made a ton because all the guys were over. It was perfect with biscuits. I topped with sour cream, crumbled bacon, and extra shredded cheddar. Next time I might use a leek or two instead of the onion.

This IS a great and easy recipe! The first time I made it I tasted before the dairy and was convinced it was best without! The second time I made without we vowed to never go back. Love the other ideas here. We used the whole t. of tumeric, too, and got three different yellow squashes in there. SUPER tasty - I think we might not ever again live w/o it! Thanks! Going to check out the veg chili now.

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
