It was okay. Husband didn't like it (picky), son wouldn't touch it (just because it's GREEN). Ate it for lunch over a couple of days so not too bad, but doubt I would make it again.
really liked this a lot ! after some saut? , threw it in my vitamix for a creamy piping hot deliciously quick lite dinner
This soup didn't taste bad, but it was difficult to get past the dark green color when eating it. My 11-month-old daughter loved it, but my 3-year-old son didn't care for it.
I made this recipe for Taste of Home's low fat cookbook, which used skim milk and evaporated milk, as well as cooking spray to saute the onion and garlic. Great changes. Reduces the calories by more than 2/3! Probably not as rich, but definitely a good soup to make again.
I wanted a soup that would help my poor sick familiy get better, and I found it. I did add more garlic since I wanted something to flush out all those uky germs out of them and WOW! This soup did it! Thank you!
