I really enjoyed it. I noticed it is quite high in sodium. I use no salt added tomatoes, low sodium broth, and reduce the amount of added salt by half to keep my sodium intake in check. - 12/26/13

I really liked this recipe. I cut it in half, but kept the veggies the same and added 2 chopped potatoes 30 minutes prior to serving time. I used pork italian sausage as it's all I had in the house and it tastes pretty good. - 10/7/13

This soup was very tasty. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper. - 11/21/08

It was great, I added the zuccini later so they weren't as mushy. I think the sodium count is incorrect per serving. I did use low sodium broth too. - 11/17/08

Very tasty! I didn't do too much doctoring either. I just added a bay leaf and skipped the salt, pepper, and thyme in addition to using half water/half broth. I also used College Inn low sodium fat-free broth instead of Swansons. My guests all wanted a second helping! - 7/2/08

I made this and omitted the swansons chicken broth to eliminate some of the sodium. With the ingredients and water it made a great broth all it's own. - 2/21/08

I'd like to make this but will have to cut the sodium somehow. 1 serving contains MORE than the US recommended amount for a whole day!

I'll omit the added tsp of salt, use low sodium chicken broth and no salt added canned tomatoes. - 12/21/07
