This soup is exceptionally good. I didn't have veggie stock so I used a chicken bullion cube. I also omitted the celery because it's gross. It is easy to make and my carnivore husband loved it. The only downfall is the colour of the soup makes you think it will be gross. Feel free to add any veggies you like, or any other grains, just increase the water.
