Oh so good! I added a little leftover mashed potatoes to thicken the broth a tad, and I simmered it for about an hour to help the flavors blend. Fresh bread and butter...Magnificent!
excellent meal! had to modify mine a smidge.. didn't have celery or carrots, so I subbed with cabbage, potatoes
So good and so easy!
Followed the recipe with two additions, 3/4 cup of ditalini pasta and another cup of chicken broth. Delicious! I was told to add this to the rotation of soups.
I tripled the recipe. We all loved it. Comfort soup is what I would call it.
Didn't care for.
This was really good! I halved the recipe for two, and still had leftovers. Very good served with cornbread, and will definitely make again!!!!
Absolutely delish, I only added 3/4 the beans it called for, and added just a dash of garlic powder, and a dash of chili pepper. My 4 year Grandson even liked it! Thanks for the recipe!
Good and very easy. We cut the chili power in half though.
This recipe was great. I think it was watery for a bean soup. So, if you puree 1/4th -1/2 of the beans you will get a thicker soup product. It was really good tasting.
