5 of the 6 in my family loved this. Rarely gets better than that!! Nice switch from chili...nearly all different ingredients, but still a nice, hearty soup. Since some of my family don't like tomatoes, I used a small can of tomato sauce.

This was very tasty and by blending half of the ingredients, it played a little trick on my mind, making it feel even more filling.

AH-MAZ-ING!! I took some tips from other reviewers... 2 cans of beans, 2 carrots, 4 cloves of garlic, subbed vegetable broth, no summer savory but added 3 med. potatoes cubed. I used the hand blender to puree right in the pot, then wen I found it was a bit thin as others mentioned, I added a small spoonful of flour to thicken it up a bit. It was PERFECT! YUM! I will definitely be serving this one again!!

Just made this soup and was very pleased with the outcome! I didn't let it cook for 2 hours, just boiled on high for about 20 min....long enough to make the veggies tender but still a little crunchy. I also added sliced kielbasa sausage and a few chopped celery stalks. My whole family (1 1/2 yr old included) loved it!

Was ok, certainly not my favourite, I probably won't make it again.

For fear of the soup being too sweet, I used only half the amount of corn. I used dry white beans because the can ones in the store had sugar in them. I baked a chichen and had a great meal. for leftovers I added the rest of the chicken into the remaining and served it with french bread, YUMMY!

I loved the blender idea. I never knew how to get that consistency in my soups. I used different ingredients and also followed another review and blended only about 1/4 of the soup. Turned out great. Thanks.

My husband (who is difficult to impress when it comes to cooking) said this was one of the best dishes I've ever made, so it's prompted me to write my very first review. I made a bunch of small modifications: - threw in a good handful of fresh thyme (3 whole sprigs and the leaves off of about another 4-5 springs) - used fresh parsley - used a can of white beans and a can of white kidney beans. I left a little of the juice in the kidney bean can and all the juice in the white bean can - added a can of hominy (no juice) - cut down on the chicken broth to 2 cans (4 cups) since I had the bean juice - used 8 large grape/very small roma tomatoes - added juice from 1/2 lemon at the end It was so flavorful, had lots of healthy veggies and just the right amount of broth! Perfect for a cold evening. Will definitely make again!

This soup was great on a cold day! We added sausage, I think next time we will add some pasta too. Great recipe

We really enjoyed this soup. I followed some of the other suggestions, added spinach and some potatoes. I also did not add half of the soup to the food processor, I just left it all un-processed. Also added were some butter beans and white kidney beans. Very tasty.
