This is a fantastic basic soup!! I would suggest more spices because it does seem to end up bland and would add potatoes rather than rice and and also add more vegetables such as corn. This is a fantastic foundational soup! I will do this one again!

This turned out fantastic and all who had dinner that night agreed this is definitely something to do again!! I used a pre-cooked ham rather than having to cook it all day and turned out delicious!

This is a FANTASTIC and EASY recipe! I whipped it up in no time. I used the Publix frozen dark cherries 36 oz total (just over 4 c) and definitely could have used another 24 oz for more cherries. The flavor is wonderful! I will probably reduce the sugar to 3/4 c. due to the cherries already being naturally sweet it was slightly overbearing. I didn't butter the pre-made crust and came out just fine reducing putting added fat into the pie. The only thing wrong with the pie was it smelt so good that my boyfriend didn't want to wait and give it time to cool and was sort of liquidy - but I would not put that against the pie since the ice cream was melting off the plate the moment it touched the slice of pie. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
