    Great soup! Nice and creamy for a cold day. I love all of the veggies. I used frozen peas,fresh young green beans and parsley for my choices. The hardest thing to do was to peel veggies and that wasn't tough at all. Thanks so much for posting!! Made for Photo Swap '08.

    This is an excellent soup — soothing and nourishing and pretty, too, with its milky white broth polka-dotted with colorful vegetables. I added 1/2 cup corn, to appeal to the children; also used white pepper so as not to have black speckles.
