Excellent. I used veggie stock to keep it vegetarian. Everyone loved it.

    Good, basic, healthy soup. Makes a whole pot full, at least 10 or 12 servings I would say and I added more stock at the end to thin it out a bit. Tasty and easy to do with a food processor helping chop. I think I will also add different things to it each time I serve it, maybe some chicken once, some ground beef once, etc.

    This is a excellent healthy soup. It makes a huge amount and can serve as a great base. Once made you can add something different everyday and have a very healthy dish which is a little bit different. So far I've added left over chicken and corn. I think I will add some cilantro with chicken and another time try kidney beans. I have three 32 oz containers in my freezer after having 4 bowls of it. I did use Knorr Beef Bouillon which was tasty but after making the soup and looking at the ingredients I was dismayed, as the main ingredients are salt, msg,beef fat& partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil in that order. I will use something else next time.

    Absolutely fantastic! I used canned chicken broth instead of the beef broth and used the olive oil the sun dried tomatoes were packed in to saute the vegetables. Will definitely make again.
