My finicky family loved this recipe. Yes, it is bland, so I too improvised. I used mushroom soup and added half a bag of frozen spinach. Also added a teaspoon of seasoned salt and about a cup of shredded, cheddar/monterey jack cheese. Great, easy recipe for personalizing to your family's preference. This one can take almost any variation!

This is an excellent way to get your veggies. Check out the nutritional information- it is hearty and healthy. I too used carrots instead of green pepper. I did not know how to use leeks, so I washed, trimmed and chopped three whole ones and it provided a nice texture to the broth.

My family absolutely LOVED this soup. My 21 year old daughter (the most finicky among us, but an avid Brussel Sprouts lover) actually gave it a 12 star rating :). My tweaks: (1) used cooked and "de-boned" boned-in pork chops rather than boneless pork loin (what I had on hand); (2) used 2 white potatoes and 2 red potatoes, quartered but unskinned (again, what I had on hand); (3) exchanged 2 carrots for the green pepper (family preference); (4) included 1 yellow onion to the leeks and scallions (green onions); (5) added 1/4 tsp. Sage (family preference) to the herb mix; and (6) tossed 4 chicken boullion into the pot as it cooked. I also "garnished" each serving with a slice of American cheese and set out our Parmesan/Romano mix fo;r who might want. A TOTAL success: really great flavor; wonderful texture. Will make -- again and again.

This was a pretty good soup. I wanted to try it because my family loves veggies and this was a wonderful variety all in one bowl! I did find it to be a little plain tasting, but I added 4 tsp. of chicken boullion and made it a little more like broth instead of just the water, and it was great! The only other problem that I had was getting all those veggies to fit in the pot. It would not all fit, so I just added as much as I could cram in. My whole family liked it and I will make it again. Thanx!!

Very green, it was good at first, but it became tiresome for 2. I used lamb instead of pork, tasty. We ate all the vegetables out of it, it was somewhat bland. excellent soup for cleaning out the refrigerator.

What a great recipe! If you like vegetables, this will taste good to you. It's so nourishing... we should be eating like this every night.
