    This recipe was delicious, and VERY VERY filling. This recipe is WAY better than canned vegetable soup. I will also be using this as a base for a beef stew as well. - 10/11/10

    Delicious! My family loved it! It was very filling even with out meat. I diced all my vegetables the night before and that made it a breeze to put together for dinner after work. - 11/7/11

    I found this very tasty. I did leave out the celery because I didn't have any. I made it in the slow cooker leaving the first set of ingredients (sans zucchini and orzo) to sit overnight and then cooking on low while away at work. I will make this again. - 9/27/11

    I use veggie broth instead of beef to keep it meat free! Taste great. Also added mushrooms and rinsed black beans. Yummy, healthy and low cal!

    I made this for my dinner tonight. I planned to serve this with tuna salad, but I would not need to have anything else. Verry robust,awesome soup. I used my home canned tomatoes (so used the Qt)and added a little oregano. I will be making this again and again. YUM! Thanks Joe! - 12/1/10
