Very delicious! I didn't do a bouquet garni, but I took others advice and added parsley, a couple cloves of minced garlic, cilantro, and chives. I prefer the herbs in the soup anyway. I love all the vegetables, and I did add zucchini. This will be made again! Thanks!

This is a hearty soup with a nice mellow flavour. I added chopped fresh basil, chives and parsley directly to the soup and used a medley of beans. Next time I might add some garlic and/or hot pepper to give the soup a bit of jazz.

Made this recipe as given, with but one exception ~ I substituted some homemade vegetable stock for the chicken broth since my vegetarian son & DIL were to be at the table! Other than that, though . . . Yours is a wonderful tasting soup & I'm happy to keep the recipe on hand! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag]

This was a great soup. I didn't do the bouguet garni, instead I used about 1/4 teaspoon of oregano, thyme, basil and parsley. My BF and I loved it! GREAT RECIPE! I will be making this again, perhaps in larger quantity so I will have more.

This soup is delicious! I did add a diced chicken breast that I boiled in some chicken stock and chicken bouillon and that was yummy! I did not add a bouquet garni, but I did add a little dried dill and basil, garlic powder, lemon pepper, Emeril's seasoning and salt and pepper. My kids even loved it! I also rinsed off the black-eyed peas before I added them.
