This soup is great. First time I made it I ate it all myself. This time I doubled it and with three of us eating it, it's almost all gone. Next time I will triple it. Very simple and quick to make. I cooked the carrots first, they take longer than the other vegetables. Thanks for sharing Ian.

I added rosemary, garlic, and mushrooms! I also left out the salt. Very hearty soup and will definitely make again!

This is really good! My husband actually liked this version better than the tradition veggie soup. However, my family didn't care for the celery soup, so next time we well try cream of mushroom. I also added garlic powder, cheddar cheese, and cream to add more flavor and give it a creamier taste. Oh, and I also used beef broth instead of the cube. With this, I only needed 4 1/2 cups of water. We will be adding this to rotation now.

This soup is yummy! However I did take the recommendations of a couple other reviewers. I added 1/4 c veveeta and threw a handful of shredded chedder in. I also added two cups of heavy whipping cream. I thought it was a bit too thin...I also used my soup mixer to blend so my picky eaters wouldnt see all those fabulas veggies! Will make again!

You know when you go to a party, and there's way to much food at the end and you're forced to take food home with you? Ask for the veggie tray. Throw the carrots and celery into a food processor, and don't worry about anything except the potatoes and onion. Skip the frozen vegetables. This was surprisingly tasty, and yes, ADD ROSEMARY. Only, do it in an herb bag that you can take out when it's all stewed (-I hate crunching on rosemary).

It was ok but a little bland for our taste so I had to add some garlic powder, red pepper,added a little more of this and that and used chicken stock instead and it needed a lot more water and stock than the recipe called for.

An unexpected surprise! We both are convalescing and needed a rich, healthy soup easy to eat. We omitted the onion, cream soup and seasonings with the exception of a little pepper at the end. We added 1 extra potato, MUCH more water (probably close to 6 cups as we used a lot of veggies, including spinach!) and used 2 chicken bouillon cubes. Very, very good - flavorful, hearty and warming. Thanks Ian!

The only thing I did differently is I omitted the celery and for the water, I used half water, half skim milk. It was easy to make, somewhat healthy, and my 8-year-old gobbled it up. I thought it was okay, but I'm not really fond of celery, so the cream of celery soup wasn't a good choice for me. I think next time I will try maybe cream of chicken or something and it will probably be great. For someone that likes celery, this would be awesome as written.

This took a novice (me) 60 minutes from the time I started until the table was ready. I added a little more salt, boulon, and veggies - this recipe is fantastic!

I made this today. It turned out just like the picture. It didnt make too much, which I liked. Sometimes when you make soup, you get tired of it way before its all gone. We had it for lunch, and the rest will be gone tomorrow. I didnt add all that salt, only used 1/4 t. and I used vegan chick seasoning, and used no oil. This might be good with other creamed soups too. Perhaps cream of mushroom, or aspargus. Will make again.

Yes, it really is THAT good and easy! I boiled the potatoes and while they were going I chopped up celery and carrots (more than it called for and it was worth it!), and then added the rest of the ingredients as directed. It was great!

What great comfort food. I used 4 small potatoes and took others' advice and added the rosemary as well as a little garlic powder but kept the rest the same. I used fat free cream of celery with great results. Great for the winter!

We added some ground beef to the recipe and made our own cream of celery soup as we didn't have any on hand in which I put the beef bouillon cubes in instead of the soup it self. I also added fresh crushed garlic and a whole onion when I browned the ground beef and skipped the onion powder and the celery. Everyone liked it and wanted seconds! It reminded me of hamburg gravy only in a soup form with veggies in it! We also cut back on the salt! With the changes I made it would be a 5.

Very nice soup.......mmmmm served it up with chocolate martinis and chocolate fondue - Valentines day. Overcooked it a bit as potatoes were a little mushy.... nevertheless it was a great soup. Didn't change the recipe a bit.
