Really nice light soup! I decreased the onion a bit and added a bit of garlic (couldn't help myself!). Otherwise made as posted. This will be great to make a larger batch of and save for quick lunches at work. Thanks for sharing!

Yum - great soup and so easy! I don't care for onions so left them out and added a little more carrot and celery. I used Italian-seasoned tomatoes and loved the flavor of this light and tasty soup - thanks for sharing the recipe!

What I love the most about this other than the fact that it's delicious, is that it's so LF/LC. Just an added bonus to a great soup for the winter months here in Michigan. I omitted the potato because I was using medium size shell pasta. And, I had to add salt and some garlic powder. This was strictly preference. A great find for me as I eat soup for most noon day meals before returning to my bus. Thanks friend!! Made for 123Hits~

Yum yum yum! Made this for 2013 Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game and I did use homemade chicken broth, added some garlic and had some left over pasta which I put into the bowl and but the hot soup on top (that way the pasta didn't get mushy) but otherwise followed the directions. I love vegetables of every kind and this is so easy, tasty and good for you too. Thank you for posting.
