Would give it 4 forks for flavour only that I used water instead instead of chicken stock, and chicken breast on bones. It's my new favourite chicken soup.

Outstanding soup! But use dried beans, cooked al dente. Superior to canned.

Fantastic! It's easy and really tasty. Just as good left over for lunch the next day. I will certainly make this again!

Oh and one more thing: I always either use leftover roast chicken or a I buy a roasted chicken for my soups/chilis. I had leftover smoked chicken the last time I made this and it gave it a great extra flavor.

I have made this soup multiple times but when I made it yesterday with some changes, it got much better reviews from the family and friends. I didn't have any onions or celery or sage so I substituted a parsnip for the celery, shallots for the onion and nothing for the sage. I swirled the herb oil into the entire pot of soup. These small changes seemed to give it a little extra oomph.

Extraordinarily bad. Make a pureed leafy green soup instead. Just as good for you, will fit the bill, and is probably the best way to lose weight. Many variations to pick from (kale, beet or turnip greens, mustard greens). Eat with crusty bread.

My 4-fork rating is based on following the recipe exactly. But I have a cheat that makes it 3.8 forks or so! Instead of fresh herbs, use dried, but do the standard "cut-back" of using only 1/3 the measure of fresh herbs. Lots of nice flavors in this, and it's filling, too.

Followed the recipe other than substituting a small jar of tomatoes from the garden for the tomato puree. Soup was OK but lacked any WOW factor. Thought the herb oil would save it but again, was just "OK".

Yummy Yummy Yummy. I love this soup. The only thing I did different is I added mushrooms. The Swirl is awesome. Thanks for posting

Home run! Simple as that. This is easy to make and simply delicious. I pureed tomatoes and white beans together, with a bit more tomato(8oz.) The oil is a lovely exploration...by all means, use fresh herbs. I liked the consistency from having the pureed beans , tomatoes, 1 32 oz container of quality chicken stock. Next time I'll reserve some whole beans to add.Make sure to saute the veggies a good while for best flavor. Serve with longitudinally quartered french pread, so as to have a "dipping stick."

Delicious, and worth the wait. I will definitely make this again. The only change I made was to use a whole 10-oz can of tomato puree.

Wonderful! My fiancée LOVES soup and he said this is one of the best he's ever had! I used stewed tomatoes instead of puree for a lighter effect and thigh meat instead of breast for more flavor, delicious. And YES - do the herb swirl!! I don't recall ever having anything like it but it's to die for. Love love love.

This was delicious, especially considering that it's healthy. Thanks for posting! I followed the recipe exactly, and was impressed by how much flavor the herb swirl added. I will definitely be making this again.
