We really enjoyed this soup. We added Italian spice instead of thyme. This recipe makes 4 servings; however, there is not enough to have seconds which is very important to the men in my family. In the future we will double the recipe, and add potatoes and chicken. This recipe has the potential to be changed in many ways. Very good!!

the thyme was overpowering to the bland sweet soup. so i added red pepper pdr. and parmesan cheese-still just ok

This was ok but it is missing somthing in the flavor. I added some wild rice and it helped
