    I'm sorry but I thought this was very average. Not sure why everyone is singing its praises. I made a few changes but nothing that others didn't make. I cut back on the oil & substituted frozen corn for the fresh (since it's winter & canned tomatoes for the fresh. I also didn't peel the potatoes mainly because I'm lazy and also to retain the nutrients. Otherwise, I followed the recipe to the letter. It was so boring I threw in some hot sauce & thyme in the end just to perk it up a little. That seemed to help. But I will give Alton 5 *s for a healthy recipe. That was it's saving grace.

    I made this vegetarian, with my own veggie stock. I added red kidney beans (canned for added nutrients. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I think that 4T of olive oil was a bit too much, and gave slight oily taste. Overall, I do like the soup and it will enjoy it for lunch all week.

    so simple, yet so amazing! the only difference i did was i added some cabbage, and i also added some chicken sausage from the farmer's market. i used canned low sodium chicken broth. i can't beleive how tasty the soup was without even the use of herbs.

    I have made this numerous times and it turns out great each time. I do use frozen corn, and diced tomatoes when I don't have good fresh ones on hand. I also chop up a few small zucchini and add it in place of some of the potatoes.

    I was worried because I felt the recipe was too simple to be so good (ratings were great. But this is fantastic soup! I used a cup of onion instead of leeks (didn't have any, although I'm sure leeks would be great. I put in celery and I used canned diced no salt tomatoes. I also left the skin on the potato - doesn't seem to make a difference and its healthy. I also made it easy and used canned corn and frozen green beans.

    This soup is AMAZING!!! I love all the fresh veggies and I used organic vegetable stock. All the tomatoes give this soup a really nice, flavorful, hearty broth that my boyfriend and I just loved! As a new vegetarian, eating meatless can be difficult - but this soup (and other recipes like it - make it easier. Thank you Alton, this soup is a homerun! :

    Best Vegetable Soup recipe, the secret must be the sweating of the vegies. I omitted the tomatoes & corn and added 2 small zuchini and 2 baby bok choy (sliced or chopped & made a double receipe. I had house guests and many small children - the soup was devoured before my husband had a bowl. Thanks to Alton Brown.

    This is great. I left out one potato and added a cup of white beans, used frozen corn and canned tomatoes, but otherwise followed the recipe. Simple and yummy, and the whole family likes it.
