I made this recipe yesterday & got rave reviews. Was told one of my best meals ever. I substituted veg. broth for the beef broth & it was perfect. I also substituted the frozen corn since I did not have frozen peas. I will be making a big giant pot next time as there were NO leftovers! Excellent recipe.

Homemade soup is the best thing ever and this recipe was so simple. I left out the water completely and threw in a can of green beans in place of the frozen peas I was missing and it still turned out fantastic. I used the "Related Tip" from another member and chopped my veggies in the food processor. Mmm...delicious. I wish I could share a bowl with each of you!
