This was great! I took some timesaving shortcuts and it was still wonderful. I used canned diced potatoes and canned carrots and dried onion. Can't imagine it being any better with hard labor involved :) Definitely cut the time way back too as you don't have to wait for the veggies to soften. I used 2 cans potatoes and 1 can of carrots.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/28\/2011 16:07","GUID":"91c6843a2e0e4e9dbaf5d2b19105d550","MemberId":5557600,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Bdub6","SubmittedDate":"12\/28\/2011 16:07"},{"Comment":"

Oh WOW this is DELICIOUS! Unfortunately I had no idea it made so much, and I am cooking for two, lol. This is hearty, warm, delicious, and comforting... all in one bowl. We will definitely be making this one again!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/01\/2011 22:25","GUID":"4881615778284578bd8eea7c1d1fbf94","MemberId":3296408,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"williamsegraves","SubmittedDate":"12\/01\/2011 22:25"},{"Comment":"
