Very good soup. My husband and 5 kids ranging from 20 mos to 14yrs all said how much they liked it and had seconds or in my teenage sons case fourths! I did, as some others had suggested, and added cooked brown rice at the end so we would still have soup and not end up with a casserole. I also used ground sausage as that is what I had on hand. I will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Didn't end up as soup, but it was good.

WAY TOO MUCH RICE! I thought this was a soup? It was like a humungous moist "pre-packaged" rice dish. Flavor was tolerable to me. Everyone else hit the brakes after about 3 bites. If you use hot sausage, it does make it quite spicy too.

I screwed this up at the end, and didn't add the cream, but I think it came out great as a rice dish! Try it, I loved it!!

My husband and I were absolutely amazed when we made this recipe. I had intended to follow it exactly, but we're not big garlic fans, and we love onions, so I made a few small changes. I only put in a clove and a half of garlic, and I upped the onion to about 1 cup (half a medium onion). I didn't quite have 8 cups of chicken stock, but I used what I had (probably about 6 or 6.5 cups). We also like a lot of meat, so I believe we put 6 links of sausage instead of 4. It was more like a stew than a soup, but we liked it that way. I can't wait to make this again, and next time I plan to double it and share with relatives! Thanks for sharing!

This had a good base. garlic, onions, chicken stock and the herbs and heavy cream. I changed alot though. I added chicken with the sausage, italian green beans and diced tomatoes for color and pasta (tortellini or ravioli would be good too). Then topped it with a blend of italian cheeses (parmesean cheese worked well too). My husband loved it!

This soup is really great. I did one thing to alter it; we do not eat white rice in our home, so I used a wild rice blend from Wegman's supermarket. It really added to the heartiness of the soup.
