FANTASTIC!!!!!! This was so simple and yet turned out so very tasty. We ate the first pot of soup for dinner and I made a second pot immediately to share!

This is a new family favorite. I hadn't used sherry in cooking until trying this recipe. Now I am looking for more recipes with sherry as I really liked the flavor in this soup. We are trying to add soups to our diet as part of meals and this is a great soup to go with many different meals.

This was delicious! I had to use kale instead of leeks because that's what I had and it was great. Then towards the end of the pot, I extended it by adding an undrained can of crispy white & yellow corn.

This recipe is delicious. I had to make slight modifications based on what I had on hand (canned mushrooms, 1 can 14 oz. vegetable broth, 1 can 14 oz. beef broth, 3 ounces of water and 2 cubes beef bouillon, and farfalle pasta in place of orzo, and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" (the kind with 5 calories per tablespoon, which makes it even less fatty). The flavor is rich and almost sophisticated. In my quest to eat healthier, this is going to be a new favorite, something I prepare again and again.

This is a really great soup! I used white wine instead of dry sherry and vegetable bouillon cubes instead of condensed beef broth. My mom loved it and said it reminded her of onion soup.

This aws about as bland as bland can get. Couldn't even taste the leeks. I ended up adding a can of petite diced tomatoes and some garlic to add a little flavor. Also, added some chopped spinach. In the end it turned out a flavorful recipe but at that point it wasn't the soup I set out to make. To be fair if you like a mild consume you may like this recipe. It just didn't work for us.

This soup was okay, had to add spices to give it so flavor. Is a good base soup, but needs some work!

Ruth - an amazing recipe. I only had an hour to prepare and was done in plenty of time! Amazing for a home-made soup! I did change a few things - used 8 oz. sliced and broken portobello mushrooms, 1/2 c. good shiraz instead of sherry, 3 cans of Chicken instead of Beef broth, 2 cloves garlic and added a handful of fresh baby spinach just before serving. Fantastic! And the leftovers were great too - was worried about the spinach, but it was still yummy! Thanks!

My son begs me to make this. I also use wine instead of the sherry. Sometimes I omit the orzo and throw on a slice of swiss cheese, broil and serve with homemade croutons. Mmmmm This is a great prelude to grilled steaks.

Great light soup if you make a few changes...I cut back on the olive oil, left out the orzo and added some rosemary. Serve this with a London Broil steak and some mixed green and yellow beans and you have a gorgeous and healthy meal! Thanks for the recipe!

This was really good, but I did make some changes. I was looking for something with a bit of an asian flavour, so I added about a tsp of sesame oil, some garlic powder and a tiny pinch of chinese 5 spice powder. It was really tasty. I also didn't have sherry but used dry white wine. I think next time I'll do the same and maybe add some little asian meatballs for an even heartier meal. Remember to wash the leeks really really well.

This is excellent! A light flavored soup brimming with hearty flavors. I added a minced garlic clove plus a bunch of fresh thyme leaves and I used cremini mushrooms and a bit less fat than it calls for.

I thought that this soup was pretty good, although quite a bit bland. I spiced this up by adding pinto beans and I also added buttermilk ranch seasoning (not the actual dressing) and my husband loved it. Goes great with Baby Bella Mushrooms.

I tried this with beef broth first and didn't like it much--it was too heavy and greasy. But I liked the ingredients so tried again with chicken broth and absolutely loved it. Just fantastic! I made some slight modifications to the recipe--I used a full 8 oz package of mushrooms and two stalks of leeks (this is probably about what the recipe calls for). Used a 50oz can of chicken broth and added about 2.5 cups of water. Will make it exactly the same way next time.

I didn't have beef broth in the house, so I used chicken broth as a substitute. Turned out well.

This soup is deffinately deserving of the 5 stars = "the Best!". I found that if you add a little oregano or sweet basil, it gives it a slightly different taste. I could keep serving this soup at dinner, and my family would never get tired of it.
