I never leave recipe reviews but this soup is SO good, our favourite!!! We make it on repeat. Comforting, hearty, delicious…my husband describes it as “mind blowing”. Always hope to enjoy the leftovers the next day, as undoubtedly the flavour improves, but we end up eating the whole pot in one sitting!

In reply to Ashley. Hi Ashley, since I'm a vegetarian I don't cook with chicken stock. You might want to adjust the salt, but other than that it should be fine.

Any advice when using chicken stock instead of vegetable stock? Making this now and hoping it still tastes good.

This recipe is OUTSTANDING!! I am thrilled that I found it! I made only slightly modifications because of what I had on hand. I used chicken base instead of veggie broth and I used lentil pasta in place of regular. All those flavors are exquisite!! Thank you for doing what you do!!! Looking forward to making more of your recipes!!!!! YOU make ME and great cook!!!! Thank you!!!

In reply to Andrea. Hi Andrea, it will be quite thicker, so you might need some water or vegetable broth.

In reply to Mary. That's a must! I try to throw in 2 when I make 36 servings. I spend way too much money on good cheese lol.
