This is so good, it's like comfort food. This really goes well for winter weather, although I really did enjoy it in htis heat wave.

This was good and filling. The only suggestion that I would make is that I might use less broth/buillon and leave out the salt. It was a tad bit salty.

This was very good and fit nicely into the Weight Watchers CORE Program. Definitely a keeper. Thank you.
