I make this without the pasta, but add barley or navy beans. Do skim off the fat after creating the broth. - 11/26/12

Very similar to my recipe -- We always use Grandma's Frozen Noodles. Not sure the calorie count would change too much.
Also good with Wild Rice instead of noodles. Always add fresh carrots. Family favorite, and a hit with work friends today, too! - 2/12/10

I am on low carbs, so I didn't use the pasta. Instead, I used more veggies, including a bag of baby carrots, twice the onion and twice the celery. It makes a filling meal for me. - 1/30/10

I made this in the crock pot this morning, THEN looked for a recipe to match. This is really close. I didn't use a couple of the spices (didn't think of them), and am using brown rice instead of pasta. You can only say it's bland if you don't season well. I'm glad I didn't have to type in the recip - 12/8/09

Sounds good and easy. I am not a homemade soup lover, but this I will give a try, and who knows maybe I can get my hubby eating more healthier, without him knowing. - 6/23/09

I really love turkey soup and usually make mine with rice. This makes a nice change. And it's light enough for a cup at lunch. I might just throw in some frozen vegetables next time to up the nutrition a little. - 6/23/09
