I was so lerry that this soup might be too acidic but much to my surprise, it was good. The balsamic vinegar was great. I only used one large onion....should I have really used 6 onions AND the bunch of green onions? I'll definitely make it again and I think I'll try roasting the veggies too before I add them to the soup. My husband liked it too even though he knew I made it as a way to drastically reduce my caloric intake.

I was pleasantly surprised! This is such a great soup, and perfect to suppliment any diet - especially you WW out there! I like spice, so I used Spicy Hot V8, chopped & de-seeded some jalepenos, extra garlic, and then about 12-14 dashes of Tabasco! It's a great pick me up! Thanks for posting!

It's January again and here I go looking for this diet soup..couldn't find my recipe and knew to look here!!! Mine is from the early 60's and much the same as this,the exception being beef bouillon used instead of chicken..I think the balsamic vinegar in this recipe(wish wasn't in mine) would be a great addition to the beef flavor also. Thank so much for posting for safe keeping Spyder-man. BTW you do lose weight on this besides it being so darn good!!!
