I actually measured the whole pot so I could figure how much they considered a serving, and it made about 7 1/2 cups, so a serving is a little less than 2 cups.

My variation: I actually left the onions out (4 seemed like quite a few anyway) because picky Dh won't eat onions, but I added extra carrots since I had some to use up. I also added a little ground red pepper for extra spice - YUM! I thought it was delicious and filling, but Dh didn't agree. He's more of a simple meat and potatoes type of guy, and this soup was just a little too different for him.

ETA - I also used regular chicken broth instead of low-sodium. I still thought it needed more salt, but maybe my taste buds are off???
