I cooked this on the stove top instead of the slow cooker and it came out quite well. My family really liked it for a once in a while dish. Next time I will half the sherry or not use it at all. Didn't care for the flavor it added. It will be a keeper for cold weather.

I loved this HOWEVER, I took a look after about 4 hours (was getting hungry :-) ), and it looked more like a thick casserole than soup. So, I checked the veggies and they were as tender as can be....it was done. It was VERY thick though. More the consistency of a casserole. My kids loved it, but next time, I think I'll add more broth (probably at least another 1-2 cups). Oh, and I used cubed turkey ham (smoked), and the flavor was wonderful.

This soup was OK...I had to add salt and some poultry seasoning because it was very bland. I added chopped red potatoes. It was good in the fact that I wanted something warm and filling because it is so cold outside. Once I added the extra flavor it helped. Still not crazy about it.

This recipe is great, but I made a few modifications based on others' comments about the consistency and to give it a little more flavor. My boyfriend is a big fan of condensed soup, but we're trying to improve our eating habits, so I've been preparing a lot of home made soups to freeze. That being said, I wanted to make a larger volume of soup than this recipe produces. I used about 6 1/2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth, 1 cup wild rice, and 3 celery stalks. I used the same amount of fat free condensed milk (12oz), but I only added 2T of flour at the end. Instead of turkey, I substituted chopped chicken breast pieces which I browned quickly in about 2T hot toasted sesame oil. I also added 3 strips chopped 99% lean turkey bacon. I substituted frozen corn for peas. In addition to the pepper and tarragon, I added 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t curry powder, 1 t ground mustard,and 1 t dried parsley. It was super tasty, I got the ingredients ready in my free time the day before, threw them in the pot before I went out in the morning. I love my crock pot! **DO NOT add condensed soup to this recipe, it is so loaded with added sodium which is terrible on your blood pressure!

Not a good soup. Zero flavor. Smells like there should be flavor, but nothing is happening in my mouth. Not making this again.
