Very delicious! Subbed diced ham for bacon(had none), and added celery and 1/2diced carrot. It was so good. So happy I have leftovers for lunch!

Definitely will give this a try but I will omit salt since there is salt in the bacon and salt in the broth.

We liked it enough to make it for church supper! How do I change the number of servings when I adjust the recipe?

Between About the Recipe and Ingredients, you can change the number of servings there.

I love it and made a few changes. I cooked the veggies in olive oil only and substituted 2% Greek yogurt for the cream. It tastes delicious!!

So delicious. I did it with roasted cabbage using bacon grease, more garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, Worcestershire sauce and it is officially one of our favorite soups now.

I like the idea of roasting the cabbage first. Did you use the bacon grease during the roasting? Did you cut the cabbage in pieces before roasting? What oven temperature and for how long? Any additional instructions or tips for the way you did it? (I'm not terribly experienced in the kitchen. ) Thanks 😊

It tastes ok. I don’t think I will repeat the recipe. It made an awful lot more than one person could eat.
josie0695 3 years ago
The recipe as given is for 6 servings so, yes! a lot more than one person could eat at one time! However, you can freeze the leftovers (ideally in portion-size containers); or you can adjust the number of servings by editing the amount given just above the ingredient list.

This is really good. Tried it with Cumin , Cayenne, Coriander and Fennel for spicier version. Also added a leek.

In the description at the top (About The Recipe) it says it can be made ahead and frozen.
