This was a delicious soup. I was very unsure about the mace seasoning, but it was great! Just added a light spice, letting the vegetables shine. I used low-fat soymilk and added a bit more broth to stretch the soup. DH enjoyed with the swiss cheese, and I loved mine plain. Thank you for posting this.
