We loved this recipe, including the kids. It makes a nice thick, and filling soup. Great with my homemade bread.

This soup is absolutely wonderful. I made it at work and had to give out copies of the recipe to everyone. The only change I made was to add a small box of Zateran's wild rice mix and a little more chicken broth. It's very easy to make and delicious!!
