    The house smelled great when I got home, and the soup was delicious and quite thick and hearty. Reminded me of a beef-barley soup my grandmother used to make (before crockpots-all day on the stove!) Thanks for a great dinner and a definite keeper. Will be a good recipe for the motorhome.

    I chose to make this recipe because I'm trying to follow weight watchers core plan. This is a wonderful comfort food soup. It becomes quite thick and substantial.

    This is a keeper and fits nicely into the Weight Watchers CORE program. I made two changes though. I only had a 28 oz. can of chopped tomatoes and since I love dill, I added 1/2 cup of chopped dill along with the parsley. Then when it was done I added 2 large dollops of FF sour cream. It is SO delicious.
