Great recipe! Although I also cut down the amount of olive oil used. Once potatoes were in the zip lock bag, I drizzled just enough to lightly coat. I didnt have any onion soup mix on hand so I substitued a baked potato seasoning instead. Any of your favorite seasonings will work. Be creative! These were a nice change of pace from my typical mashed or fried potatoes! Thank you for an easy recipe with such variety!

What a wonderful soup! I had to make a few changes due to what I had on hand. I had a london broil, so I chopped up about 2 cups worth and browned in olive oil with 4 cloves diced garlic. Then I added 1 packet of onion soup mix with 10 c water, 4 beef bouillon cubes, 1 1/2 tsp worchestershire sauce and let simmer for a couple of hrs with lid tilted on pot. Once meet seemed tender, I then added the carrots, celery and substituted tomato paste for the diced tomatoes (didnt have any!) I didnt add frozen peas, but had some fresh cabbage, so thru some of that in there as well! I simmered the soup until the veggies were tender. The great thing about this soup is substitutions are easy and just about anything goes! Have fun and enjoy! This is a keeper. Great served with homemade dinner rolls.!

Excellent change of pace soup! Quite refreshing and definitely a keeper! I, too, also added the chicken broth, garlic and onion! I didnt have the oroz on hand, so I substituted pasta shells. Worked well. Even the kids enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing!
