* I got this recipe from whatscookingwithruthie I thought that this soup had good flavor but I was not as much of a fan of the texture of the soup its a really broth based soup. My family likes more thicker soups so because of that reason I will not be making this again. But if you are a fan of broth soups then I am sure that you will enjoy this one.
