  1. A nice hearty soup. I like the use of rice (brown rice in my case), instead of pasta. Thank you.
     
  2. Excellent! Wonderful flavor and very easy to put together. I did not use the low sodium versions as Barb suggests in the recipe. Otherwise, I made as posted. Thank you for such a great, easy soup recipe ~ it's going into my keeper file!
     
  3. Another home run recipe by Barb. Wanted a light dinner and this filled the bill nicely. Used regular chicken broth and tomatoes and cannellini beans. Absolutely delicious and tasted as though it took all day to make. Thanks for another super recipe, Barb!
     
  4. This was very easy to make and tasted like it took much longer! I've never made minestrone soup before but i love to eat it! I replaced the zucchini with yellow squash, navy beans and regular canned chicken broth. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. I served it with some crusty garlic bread but i would really like to try this in a bread bowl next time around, topped with some parmesan cheese. Thanks for the easy recipe, I'll be making this one again!
