I thought it was pretty good, but I have several other soup recipes that I like much better. It is a little more filling than regular vegetable soup. My husband likes vegetable soup, only with deer meat in it.

I thought this would be excellent using Tarragon ( a lemony flavor) instead of Italian spices.  Use chicken broth for base.

I would use tarragon and chicken broth to make this soup.

This is a very delicious dinner soup and one my family loves. This recipe is very easy to make as well, which brings smiles to all the faces at the dinner table. This is a keeper, for sure.
