Just made this tonight. I was looking for a recipe to use up some things I had in my freezer and so glad I came across this recipe. I used the regular size of pierogies but will use the smaller ones next time. I also doubled the chicken broth and added a cup of heavy cream. I added some black pepper, parsley and red pepper to spice it up a little. Put a small spoonful of sour cream and bacon on top as garnish... was a hit with the whole family. Oh, I also used frozen spinach instead of fresh and it was fine that way.

OK, don't know why this review didn't go through yesterday when I wrote it so..here goes again. As written, the recipe doesn't have much for seasonings so here are my changes: I added 1 cup celery, 1 cup carrots,chopped roughly. Also, garlic powder,seasoned pepper & poultry seasoning, to taste. Wonderful withthese changes. A good all-around hearty soup..thanks *Asha*!
