“Delicious, easy, and filling,” raves Stephanie. “I added some red pepper flakes to add a little kick, and to limit carbs/boost protein, I replaced the potatoes with a couple scoops of pea protein powder. I’m very happy with this soup and will make it again.”

“This soup is so amazing,” according to Miris. “It’s easy, quick, and simple. Everyone I’ve made it for is satisfied. Healthy comfort food and the best part is it’s hard to mess up.”

“I could live on soup and this recipe is terrific,” says Ann. “I was surprised at how much flavor it has with no meat. I make this often. I've made it as written and I've also added different vegetables that I had on hand. Last night I threw in sliced mushrooms.”
