This soup is simple and AMAZING. I ended up using about 2 tsp. of salt and 3/4 basil and 3/4 oregano for seasoning since we aren't big basil fans. I also used regular carrots and canned green beans and added some corn and butter beans, too. (What's veggie soup without corn?) I might add some more beans next time, they kind of disappeared in the mix. I cooked a couple large chicken breasts in a skillet and diced them up and threw them in the pot with the drippings. Tasted great! At the end, I mixed 1/3 cup corn starch and 1/4 cup water and added it to thicken the broth a little--I just don't care for clear broth.

Changed out green beans for kale, potatoes for sweet potatoes and chicken broth for veggie broth and some water (lower sodium). Add Veggie Crumbles last 10min. Served with crusty bread and a salad. The whole family loved it!

The only change I made was leaving out the bean. Very good, healthy recipe!

I read most of the previously written reviews and thought they were very helpful. The base of this soup is perfect. I replaced a few of the ingredients with things I already had. I did add a bay leaf and some minced garlic which both added some flavor. I like my soup hearty so I also added some bowtie pasta. It was delicious!

This was a little boring, but definitely a great base recipe for vegetable soup. Next time I think I would throw in some meat or corn, and some additional seasoning. I don't think I like green beans in soup either, so I'll omit them next time.
