A clean and simple soup! We enjoyed this but felt it came up just a little short in the flavor department. I made as written guessing at the amount of water (7 cups) as it was not listed. Because we liked how clean and healthy this was may try again only adding some thyme,bay leaf and black pepper. Thanks for the post.
