"Sooo good. And vegan! I doubled up on this recipe for a BBQ not knowing how all the kids and grown ups would enjoy this! The kids loved the surprise of the orzo being pasta and the sweetness of the tomatoes... the grown ups loved the sauce that was a welcome break to the masses of mayo-dominant salads on the table."

"Simple and delicious, used 'veganaise' and it was vegan too! Yummy."

"Cooked this recipe as a vegan. Sauteed 2 field roast vegan sausages then followed the recipe up to the chicken stock and added 2 veggie bouillon cubes. Otherwise did all as indicated. It was AMAZING. Yum."

"Easy to adjust for a vegan. Creamy tasty without all the cream, sour cream etc. I've made it once using butter and once completely vegan with grapeseed oil for a buttery taste. Both times the soup was amazing. I actually did not use boursin either time and my kids and husband gobbled it up. My 12 year old exclaimed how good it was after the fir"

"I've made this soup a few times. It is bare none the best vegetable soup recipe I've ever made. Delicious even my kids dig in."

"Turned the recipe vegan by adding one more onion, 3 cloves more garlic, half a can more of chick peas, and some ground dried porcini mushrooms for a meaty flavor... and some chili flakes to add the spice that the chorizo would have.""

"It's a great soup. Even my kids eat their greens with this soup. LIke most others I ditched the turnips added more potatoes. Thought it was a little thick for our tastes and added an extra cup of water.""

"Had left over peas and cream in the fridge. I do not usually cook with cream it was again leftover from another recipe. Looked for a recipe for a left over make over... and this absolutely brings leftovers to 5 star level. Often use Food Network Recipes for my blog of a LeftOver Maven all the time. My kids love that we have great food at home.""
