I left out the spicey stuff and the flavours still came together perfectly. I have tried a few different soups and stews off this site and this one comes close to top for flavour.

This is a great recipe. I selected this recipe to try because I forgot to pick up an ingredient for another recipe at the grocery store. Since I live 20 miles from the store I was excited to try this recipe which I had all the ingredients on hand with the exception of the cauliflower and rosemary. Instead of celery stalks I used 2 1/4 tablespoons of celery flakes. I also used bouillon cubes (5) instead of the powder. The soup turned out great and my husband and I loved it. I really liked the broccoli in the soup. It is a nice unexpected surprise from traditional chicken soup. I saved enough for our dinner later this week and froze the rest in the freezer for later meals on busy nights. I think this would be a nice meal for a group with a salad and homemade biscuits or bread. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Awesome flavor! I used a frozen carrot, broccoli, cauliflower mix to make it even easier. Didn't have picante so I substituted salsa. Will make again soon!

I used this with the leftover veggies from a crudite platter! I left out the spicy parts and used canned chicken broth and this was enjoyed by my family.
