I've worked in the food service industry for too many years to count and have made this one-of-a-kind soup at many different jobs. It's always been a big hit.

I have made this soup approx. 15 times and have shared with friends and work. I have never received a complaint, only people begging for this recipe. You can not go wrong and the kids love it!

I think this is a great family soup and a wonderful way to sneak some vegetables in for your kids. The shredded carrots in the soup actually look like shredded cheese (my sister thought it was the whole time she was eating it). This was really easy to make and I'll for sure make it again! I halved the recipe and it was plenty for 3 adults and a toddler, plus we had leftovers.

needs more veggies and pasta, perhaps some ham and seasoning.

Great Flavor! The only thing I would do is double the filling. My Husband and I felt it needed more of the feeling. I added more and it was even better.

My step daughters mother made this on New Years Eve for 14 kiddos + parents. There was plenty to go around and none left over. My kids still ask for this.

This is one of the best soups I've ever eaten. My mom claims to be a soup lover said it was awesome!
