This soup was wonderful. Nice & llight for spring. Only change I made was that I used corn instead of the peas. I figured I would add more color since it already had green spinach & asparagus. This is definately a keeper. Will make again. Also I did use the low salt Veggie stock. Had nice crusty bread with it. Yum........
This was a great soup--full of flavor and enough for 2 dinners and 2 lunches the next day. I could not find baby red potatoes so I used about 3/4 pound of small red potatoes cut into bite sized pieces. It was the perfect soup for the first day of Spring!
This recipe was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe but used veg stock instead. I served with crusty bread. I will make this again.
This was great! The sautéed veggies, garlic and chicken stock boosted the flavor. The potatoes made it filling. And the Parmesan was a nice finish. A pretty basic soup, but I appreciated the lightness and simplicity. Served for lunch with small sandwiches.
I'm always looking for healthy soup recipes. This was great spring time comfort food. I liked it and my husband raved about it and asked me to make it again--he's not usually a soup person!
I decided to try putting this in the crock pot after reading the first review that noted this was bland and watery. Since I was suspicious, I kept checking it during the first three hours and it had no flavor. I cut up a shallot, three garlic cloves, a cup each of extra carrots and celery, and scooped out some of the leeks and sauteed them in a little olive oil with poultry seasoning before adding them back into the pot. I also threw in a bay leaf and a few branches of basil which I took out when it was done. The next day, the soup was pretty good but still a bit bland - even with the parmesan. Not sure I'd recommend this one on its own, but it's a decent base if you want to experiment with a non-tomato-based vegetable soup.
Was looking forward to a light veggie soup, but this was watery and lacking in flavor. I followed the recipe, but after tasting added more salt and pepper, and a Parmesan cheese rind to give it body. Will let it sit overnight and let the flavors build, but this may end up down the garbage disposal. I truly hate to waste food, especially all of these veggies!
