Mmmmm, this soup is really good!! I didn't expect it to taste so rich and creamy (while knowing it is so good for me). I was surprised to discover I didn't have any chicken broth so I added some vegitable water (from steaming vegi's that I collect in the freezer) and that was fine. I can't wait to give to my husband who claims to dislike soup. After his bicycle ride home through the snow, I think he'll love it.

I used frozen white concord grape cocktail concentrate for the fruit punch part of the recipe and on the whole I thought it was just too sweet. However, we gently added the grenadine to the white punch and as it settled to the bottom of the punch bowl and with the clouds of ice cream on top, the sunset effect was indescribably beautiful!! Next time I'd add some club soda or something to dilute the sweetness a bit. Also, we used MUCH more then 1/2 cup of icecream and that was really good!! Also, I like the frozen cherry idea that another reviewer had, as thawed marachino cherries sink right to the bottom of the bowl.

There are already 1397 reviews for this recipe but I thought I'd add my own too. I thought this recipe is awesome!! The only changes that I made to the recipe was that I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all purpose flour instead of 2 cups of all purpose flour. I didn't have any nuts so I omitted those. The recipe pleased everyone in my family, and my 11 month old even got some vegi's out of it!! I have an oven thermometer and it read exactly 350 degrees and I used a 9x13 cake pan. I found that 40 minutes was more then enough time (I wouldn't recommend any longer).
