My family just loved this. I boiled the whole chicken, like the instructions state but I always have to add extra spices- I'm so bad about not measuring spices but I added black grinder peppercorn, ground red pepper, garlic powder, parsley, Ms. Dash (garlic), some more garlic powder, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, garlic powder, thyme, garlic powder, bay leaves, garlic powder, rubbed sage and garlic powder. I didn't have celery so instead I added added 3 potatoes, with skin, clubbed, a head of broccoli, cauliflower, big bag of baby carrots and fresh spinach leaves (add spinach leaves when soup is just about done). This was just AMAZING!!!

This recipe was amazing! Not to mention it looked so pretty on my fall decorated table. I used venison round steak instead of beef. Now, I did spice it up a notch- I added twice the amount of garlic, added garlic powder and garlic salt, Mrs. Dash (yes, garlic), two very exaggerated dashes of Cayenne pepper, and a big dash of ground red pepper for the extra "kick"! I also used Rotel Mexican Fiesta instead of peeled tomatoes. Very, Very yummy!!
