Very tasty and good! I didn't have zucchini or a sweet potato so I just added more irish potatoes, and it worked great! One small suggestion; if the garlic cloves are very large, I would suggest cutting them in half. Other than that, this soup was extraordinary!

I made this recipe minus the parsely and the vegetable chicken soup mix (not entirely sure what that is) and it was quite amazing. The second time I attempted this recipe, I tried it in a Crock pot. Not sure why, but it was really horrible. So don't do that.

This is the first chicken soup recipe I have tried so far, and I must say that it is excellent! I did make a few changes but I feel as if it would be just fine without them. Because I like a more brothy soup, I added a box of chicken stock in the mix. I feel like that adds tons of flavor. My family and friends go absolutely crazy for this!

I thought this soup was delicious. I made a few small changes...I used chicken broth instead of water, almost doubled the liquid or it wouldn't have been "soupy", used chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, and added some crushed red pepper flakes for heat. This recipe is very versatile and can be adjusted for any vegetables you have, but the wine is what makes it stand out. Thanks for sharing, it was great for a cold Sunday.

I really liked this recipe a lot. As many said, it required more liquid. when I tasted it at one point during simmering, it tasted a bit bland. I added a dash of balsamic vinegar and it was just the right thing to add some acidity but kept the sweetness. If you make this, use a really large pot. Mine was too small and I had to cook the chichen separately. Great alternative to classic chicken soup!

Sorry, I did not like this soup. I prefer regular chicken soup and when I eat this it just tastes 'off'.

This is the best chicken soup I have ever had. I admit that I played with the ingredients quite a bit, changing up the vegetables to what I had, but the base of this soup is so excellent that it seems to be malleable. I made it with sweet potatoes, zucchini, potatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and added some thin egg noodles. It was delicious. I added an extra 2 cups of water and cooked the egg noodles separately (other reviewers mentioned it wasn't soupy enough). Great recipe!

We thought this was OK - but not wonderful. All of the vegetables got a little too mushy/overcooked for our taste. The addition of wine to the broth was a nice change of pace, but I still think we prefer more classic-tasting chicken soup recipes.

The prep time is worth it. Everyone in the family loved the flavor. I put some spinach in and used chicken broth in place of water. Will definitely make it again!

I cooked this recipe to the letter and it was awesome! I fixed a batch for 20 and had 13 present thinking there would be leftovers, wrong!! It takes longer to fix than mentioned but, I will make it again. I highly recommend this recipe and I cook a lot. Thank You, Darwin Thomas

I really enjoyed this soup. I made it on a Sunday afternoon and let it boil for 4 hours. I ended up using a chicken carcass and a whole chicken, and used more water than in the recipe to completely cover them. I was missing some vegetables in the recipe so I added corn and green beans instead. I added some dried thyme and rosemary to add a subtle flavor. I didn't have the vegetable soup mix so i used chicken bouillon instead. I think because I added more water and boiled it really slowly, I didn't have the problem that some other users did. This soup is fantastic and will be my recipe from here on out!

I am used to having chicken soup with just the basics, carrots, celery, noodles and chicken so I was a little leary on trying this with so many ingredients. I have to say that it is absolutely wonderful and the best chicken soup I have had. I didn't have any zucchini so I just omitted that. I added a little more water than the recipe called for after reading the reviews and I added some chicken broth. Definately adding this recipe to my favorites. Thanks

I love this soup and it's become a staple in my house! It always comes out fantastically; I often use chicken and veggie bouillon instead of the soup mix. It's very easy to make and uses basic ingredients I usually have on hand. Made it recently for my parents and they loved it! I add MORE veggies as I am a lover of thick soup, not soupy soup.

Delicious! Based on previous reviews (thank you) I cut back on the amount of veggies. This was just right in relation to the amount of broth. Thank you!

This was good but I also had to add a lot of broth b/c all the original liquid evaporated.

This soup is a nice healthy treat, but I admit I liked it a little better with a some sour cream and cheese on top. It turned out very thick, hardly soupy at all, and that was even after I added a couple cups of chicken broth. If you like soupy soup, you'll need to add a lot more liquid. I couldn't find a half chicken, so I just used separate pieces (a breast, a thigh, and a couple of legs). Once the chicken was cooked and nice and tender, I used tongs to take the meat off the bone. My husband would have freaked out if he'd come across a bone in his soup!
