  I thought this soup was a great homely soup that would be nice as a dinner on a wet cold day in winter. I used some stock left over from a ham cooked at Christmas. Most soups I have cooked require very little chopping and just a whizz at the end so this felt a bit more like hard work. I would make this again but as I mentioned probably for a light dinner.

  Really nice, but needed a bit more stock. Will be making again, very good for a cold midweek supper.

  Really hearty and tasty soup. Looking forward to my lunches this week! The only problem I had was that I used fresh mushrooms and they discoloured the liquid but it tastes great.

  Followed the recipe, but felt that it needed more stock. Another recipe that involved a lot of ingredients but not a fantastic flavor. Would not make again.

  This is such a good soup! So thick and delish! It makes barley interesting. And is a perfect warmer in the cold months.
