One bowl of this soup, a piece of hard bread and you'll be stuffed. This was good and very filling! I added 1 extra cup of zucchini, 8 ounces frozen corn for the canned, a 15 ounce can of kidney beans as I did not have the smaller amount then topped my bowl with a little black pepper. This is a wonderful recipe to use that leftover head of cabbage in. Thank you for posting. Now, I'm going to make my way to the recliner. Made for *Healthy Choices ABC Tag 2009* game

Terrific. Used ditallini noodles, two pints of homemade canned tomatoes. Accidently used black beans, but they were good. Will make again!
