THIS soup has a very rich wonderful taste. I omitted the Nutmeg and Potatoes. I did add a small amount of elbow macaroni. Super easy to make and very satisfying. VFE .

We Love this Soup! I did not use Nutmeg or celery, because I didn't have any. I did add fresh broccoli with the carrots and potatoes, however, I also added another 2 cups of beef broth and about a cup or so of V8 juice and a can of diced tomatoes plus a little more Oregano and Garlic.. We dont care for corn so I added a can of whole green beans and noodles. I changed it up a little bit but the core of the taste was from this recipe. Try it and enjoy!!

I suspect for a low calorie soup this is pretty good. I thought it was good but it will not be on my make again list. Guess I wanted it to be a little more hardy feeling. Don't let my review stop you from trying it out. It is good. It is low calorie as it is i n the Taste of Home Diet Comfort Foods book. The meat was very tender and it smells nice. Maybe an onion would have kicked up the flavor or something. I am half wondering about thickening the liquid with some cornstarch too.

This is a delicious soup. I found it easy to prepare and both my husband and I declared it a keeper. Delicious on a chilly day. I omitted the nutmeg. We loved it.

My whole family loved this soup! My son won't touch vegetables, including the ones I put in it, but he ate two bowls tonight and is a very happy boy. Thank you!

My fiance and I both liked this soup. I think it could have used more broth and some more spices, but it was filled with healthy veggies. I'll definitely make this again.
