This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the soup and they didn't even realize they were eating vegetables.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I added some chopped kale to the soup for extra nutrition. It was a great addition and I would definitely recommend it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still very flavorful and delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover bread. It's also a very affordable meal. I was able to make a big pot of soup for less than $10.

This soup is amazing! It's so creamy and flavorful. I love the way the bread thickens the soup and the garlic and coriander give it a really nice flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.
