    I had to improvise with what I had on hand. Unable to locate the Mediterranean Blend Seasoned Steamers in my local store, I went with a non-seasoned blend of similar veggies, and tossed in 2 TB of Tastefully Simple Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto mix. Ate 1/2 serving with a salad. - 1/23/13

    So Easy...yet really good food. You can get creative, especially with those small bits of vegetables left in fridge.
    Better than fast food any day! - 2/24/13

    The recipe suggested swapping chick peas for the chicken for a vegetarian option, but I added BOTH and it was awesome. This soup is going to make a frequent appearance in my kitchen! - 2/28/14

    Made this last night. Substituted cannellini beans instead of chickpeas, used homemade chicken broth and added tricolored quinoa about 1/2 c and for BF added Tbsp mint sauce and added hummus to mine both were fantastic. Not a fan of Bended Seasoned Steamers. freeze leftover veggies for quick soups - 4/28/13

    Haven't tried this yet, but plan to use fresh veggies with it though. For those who are curious mediterranean blend mentioned contains Roasted Potatoes, Zucchini, Carrots, and Yellow Carrots. I will probably also include yellow squash and green beans in mine. Will include the chickpeas and tofu also - 6/2/16

    Has anyone tried doubling the veggies, using veggie both and leaving out the chicken to make this a vegetable-based meal? I'm not a vegetarian but I try to have my family eat a couple meals a week that are vegetable based. - 2/27/14
