My husband is recovering from chemotherapy and needs organic vegetables - which I used along with some organic cabbage I steamed on the side and threw in at the end. Also, I used plain salt-free diced tomatoes and added my own garlic, basil and oragano to taste. It was very healthy and healing for him. Thank you, Paula.

i read reviews come on here and complain about the recipes this recipes is too bland or that is to dry it doesn't taste that good. everyone,s taste is different. has any of these people ever heard of tweaking the recipe to their liking. Paula Deen is a good cook cause she cooks to her liking. she tweaks this seasoning and tweaks the cooking time time till she is satisfied with how it taste. so you people who come on here to complain try tweaking before you write

This was a light dish but to bland... It needed extra seasonings and it was still bland plus a like texture that's something it lacked too.

We really enjoyed this soup! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts to save on the cost. It turned out wonderful.
