"What could be more comforting than a big pot of homemade soup simmering on the stove top? Nothing in my opinion! Serve this wonderful soup with chunks of homemade bread and you have heaven in a bowl."

Delicious! I needed to make something easy for my husband to chew because he had a skin cancer taken off his face today. He had two bowls, so I think it was a real success.

Fresh herbs give the best flavor, I roasted a whole chicken with thyme and garlic,simmered veggies and onions in butter, the soup turned out delicious. ......

Very yummy. I made a quick version, using high quality canned chicken, measuring nothing, and simmering everything simultaneously in the same pot after browning the onions. The herbal flavor really came through.

Lovely soup! I did add 1 cup of frozen vegetables and was happy to have all my fresh herbs ready for the pot. I made it in my slow cooker; this is a keeper.Thanks for posting. I made this for ZWT5. Rita

I didn't make any changes other than cooking the veggies a little longer while in the skillet. It was just perfect.

Isn't she just too cute! She was only 2yrs old in this picture but it's my favorite of her.

My grand-son Aaron at just under a year old in this picture.....He is just too cheeky. We have 2 Jack Russell Terriers. Ms.Cassie and Mr. Paddy (his real name is Patrick but we call him Paddy for short)

Ms.Cassie is the larger of the 2 and Mr.Paddy is the baby at 3 months old in the above picture.

Mr. Paddy (left) and Ms. Cassie They are now 5yrs and 4yrs old respectively as of November 2009. I only work part time these days due to arthritus in my hands. I love to cook and try new foods. I like Middle Eastern cooking as I travelled to Turkey and Cyprus and got hooked on the foods there. I collect cookbooks and probably have over 100 in my library so far, British, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Jewish and Asian.
