SO HOW'D IT GO?
this was very tasty i also added cilantro which was good i think the next time i won't add as much perppercorn though.
what is ' bouillon '?
Excellent soup! Though it was too salty for my taste; even though I used low-sodium vegetable cubes (3 of them) and did not add salt, strange... But my boyfriend didn't think so. I also didn't use oil, I just put almost a cup of broth at first, then added the onions, let them cook, and then added the rest. Delicious! Will definitely be cooking this in large quantities to feed us for the week. Thanks!
This is amazingly good! I added roasted red peppers and can't seem to stop eating it! :)
This was amazing. Thanks ! ;)b
This soup is great! I spoon out some of the peppercorns before blending though. I use an immersion blender and then I pour the soup through a strainer to remove the big pieces of pepper because my kids don't like to bite down on them. They all love the soup though. A definite family favorite!
This soup was amazing! It was so easy to throw together that it is becoming a staple in my family. ^-^
I added some minced garlic, mushrooms and spinach to it as well, tossed it all in a blender, and viola! Beautiful green soup that any kid would think is sludge. LOL. :-D
Again, great, healthy recipe!

Yummy! Followed exactly and it is perfect!!!!!!!
It's starting to get cold outside so I am thinking it's soup time! I found this soup and made it with a few of the modification that some of the reviewers mentioned including the cumin (1 tsp.), garlic (fresh, about 1 clove, chopped), and carrots (2 sliced). It came out really good, but not as 'velvety' as I would have liked so next time I will use slightly less water. My husband, the non-vegan, had two big bowls and can't stop bragging about it and is trying to think of what I should put in it next time. He thinks cauliflower would go well in it. :)
I have been making this for years, its about time I write a review. This soup is soooo good and very simple to make. I usually add a few garlic cloves and about twice the peppercorns, but other than that I make it as is. If you use faux chicken broth, I think this could probably pass for cream of "chicken" soup in other recipes you might be trying to veganize. Delicious!
