This is a good recipe for those of you who are looking for soups that are low in fat, but high in taste. The soup is great as is, but some diced sweet potato is a nice addition.

This wasn't bad. But lets face it this soup is more meant as a way to keep an eye on weight more than it is on taste - which isn't bad just different. Next time I am going to try some different veggies. I will also try halfing the garlic (a bit overpowering) and using a can of italian seasoned tomatos. Read More

This soup is amazing. I would have never known it was a "lite" soup if I hadn't read the recipe. I think it would also be excellent with small noodles (though obviously not as slimming) Read More

The only reason I give this recipe three stars is for being very healthy. It was very bland and I like lots of flavor. I don't think I will make this again. Read More

Very good though I may have damaged the 'slimming' qualities; I tossed in a little cooked chicken that I had on hand as well as a bit of cooked rice. Instead of bouillon cubes I use chicken base or homemade stock if I have it on hand. Omitted the green bell pepper b/c I'm not a big fan. Upped the spices added some fresh ground pepper. Thanks for a great lunch! Read More

The basic recipe has pretty good flavor for a low calorie soup. I upped the herbs and saute'd the onion garlic carrot and celery in olive oil prior to adding the broth. I also added some cayenne pepper to give it a little heat. Read More

Excellent easy to make soup. I made as directed and I wasn't disappointed. The next time I might add in the basil and Italian seasoning in the last 15 minutes because while tasting I think I liked it just a little better when it didn't have a chance to totally be absorbed into the other flavors.
