I've made this soup several times and it just keeps getting better. I've made some changes to suit myself such as not adding the parsley. Also it didn't seem to have enough juice for me so I added a little water, then the next time added more beef broth. I've also added corn and more potatos to it. It really is great on a snowy cold day and warms you from the inside out.
