After taking the original of this recipe from Taste of Home's Quick Cooking, Collector's Edition 2003 (23), I tweeked it a bit & came up with the following version. If a little extra flavoring is desired, I sometimes use a garden vegetable cream cheese.

WINNING CREAM OF VEGETABLE SOUP

Several people told me it was the best soup that they'd ever had. The biggest compliment I ever received, though, came from my 93-year old grandfather. He usually ate as few vegetables as possible-but he asked for a second bowlful! -Mary Parker, Copperas Cove, Texas
