  1. I made a big batch of this to take to a church luncheon, expecting some leftovers for the next day. No such luck -- it was all gone. Now I'll have to make more.
     
  2. I made this tonight using fresh sweet corn. It turned out to be a meal in a bowl! Delicious! My husband said this was a perfect alternative to his favorite chicken and dumplings. I followed other reviewer's suggestion and sweated the onions and celery before combining with the soup stock. A quick meal and a great way to use up cooked chicken. Thx for sharing.

  4. This is really fantastic during corn season... I highly recommend using fresh corn if you can. It's a simple recipe, but still very hearty and tasty. I've made this soup twice and the only change I'd recommend is to use 1.5 cups of flour with the two eggs instead. I also forgot to get fresh herbs at the store, but it still tasted fine using dried. Oh, I also added some chopped celery at the beginning and I can't recommend that enough either. If added early, it gives a lot of body to the broth.
     
  5. We really enjoyed this soup. Rich enough to be very tasty, but not to heavy. It is a keeper.
