    I really enjoyed this soup and would make it again. I added barley instead of the pasta. - 1/3/09

    I added lean meat because I am doing the Love food diet which requires more protein in your meal then what this soup offered that way I had my serving of protein (beef), fast carb (noodles), and slow carb (all the vegetables) in one meal. Love this meal because I can prepare it in the morning - 1/7/11

    I made this minus the mushrooms and thought it was missing something so I added ground chicken meatballs (1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 3 tsp ketchup) and 1 can of tomato sauce... WOW DELICIOUS! This is a keeper. - 1/18/10
