I made this soup for the first time last year and it was surprisingly flavorful. I just made it "by the seat of my pants" as my Mom used to say when she made up a recipe as she went. That is pretty much what I did and it turned out to be delicious!
So if your neighbors complain about dandelions in their lawns, give them this recipe! It's much healthier than Round Up, for them and their lawns!

I usually serve this soup with Triscuit crackers. The first time I made it, I have to admit, I did not tell my husband what was in it, till after he finished his bowl and proclaimed it was really good. He didn't get mad......well, not much.
Have a great rest of the week!
