Jenn, I love it for variety and I think its very good.
This is how I make it....
I take 8 oz or so of water and add Mrs Dash table blend. You can add salt, pepper, garlic salt or onion salt if you don't have MD. Sometimes I add cauliflower (mash it up when tender) and the soup ends up tasting like cream of potato...yum
When the water/seasoning mixture is boiling and veggies are tender, I take about 3 T of cold water and make a paste with the soup mix in a bowl. Then I add the boiling mixture and it blends really nice. Enjoy.
