Reviews
“We enjoyed this soup quite a bit! I did have to add a bit more liquid and might have preferred a little bit more tomato but otherwise nice! Oh I did add more salt, but I know Milleî followed a lowsalt diet so that is only to be expected. Milleî, you are indeed missed! ~Sue”
“Wow! I substituted the water and boullion with three cans of vegetable broth (married to a vegetarian) and the results were heaven. This is now a family favorite!”
“just superb!”
