      I enjoyed this soup. I had a small piece of pumpkin to use up so I used that instead of potato. I used 2 cups of low salt chicken stock (Oxo cubes) instead of the 3/4 cup stock and 1 1/4 cups water. This portion was good for dinner with a small bread roll. It would make two lunch portions for me.
      My only problem was trying to save it to my favourites as it wouldn’t let me create a new group of Soup.
