Terrific!!Made this soup for Xmas Eve get-together and everyone wanted the recipe. I didn't add amt of salt and pepper from recipe I added it near the end a little at a time and kept tasting it. I also added 3/4 stick of butter it added a creamy buttery taste to it.I put it in a crockpot to keep it warm(amount from recipe filled crockpot perfectly). I served it in round bread bowls hollowed out and topped with crumbled bacon and shredded chedder cheese. I'll be making this one for years to come it's great!!!!! Read More

Do NOT follow the recipe on amount of pepper. It must be a misprint. I spent the whole day cooking this soup took one spoonful and had to throw the whole thing out....WAY too hot!!! I will make this recipe again but I will add much less pepper. Read More

I have made this soup many times and my family always loves it. Of course salt and pepper is to taste I leave it out completely and let everyone season their own. I use only one onion and saute it before adding it to all the other chopped veggies (except the potato) and simmer until tender. Then I add the veggies to the potatoes after they are cooked and use the veggies broth to whip the potatoes. Then add all the rest of the ingredients and heat through. I will sometimes add some cooked ham or shredded cheese or even chopped green chili for a little variety. Wonderful! Read More
