We thought this soup was delicious. I did not have Morton's Nature's Seasoning, so searched on the internet and found a copycat recipe. I used 1 teaspoon which turned out to be just a tiny bit salty for me, but the flavor is so good I didn't let it deter me. Also, since MNS already has salt and pepper in it, I did not use additional S/P. I also did not use the green onions as I don't care for them. Will definitely be making this again.

This gets 5 stars just for how easy it is. I used the already cooked bacon (and left it in), so I added about 1T of olive oil to saute the vegetables. I had made chicken stock, so I used home-made. I did use additional to make thinner. I would agree that it doesn't make 6 servings - I'm going to get 5 1 cup servings out of it.
