  • “A ver “homey” tasting soup.It’s basic and nothing fancy, but it’s really great.I loved the bits of hard-boiled eggs.I reduced the cooking butter to 2 tbsp and used fat free evapoated milk to cut some fat calories.I did float a pat of butter on top to serve.Thanx for sharing!”

  • “Great soup!I usually make it like this but I add finely shopped carrot with the celery and onion. I have never used egg and it is a nice change!”
