Reviews
“I made this recipe for a soup potluck that we have at the office every Friday in the winter. I doubled it (no problem) and subbed chicken stock for half of the veg stock. It was VERY easy to make, just chop, saute, simmer, and puree. Here’s hoping everyone at the office loves it, too. I’ll post a pic after lunch. “
