I have to say I had my doubts about how good this would taste as simple as it is but WOW! DH told me this had to become a regular in the meal rotation. He did say, like some of the other posters, it would be best if the tomatoes were smaller. so next time they go in for food processor just enough to make them smaller. Bev, thank you so much for sharing! :)

Excellent I did add some loose sausage or my boys would have turned their noses up at it. Very much like I remember my mom making.

Absolutely fantastic! I did not change anything EXCEPT I did not have the canned stewed tomatoes but did have a fire roasted can of a chunky salsa that had some kick to it. To downplay the heat, when the soup was finished, I added some cream and it was a huge hit. Thank you so much.

Really good for the small time effort required. I allowed the soup to simmer for an hour on low, 10 minutes didn't seem like enough for a soup. Also, prepared the pasta separately to avoid it getting mush with leftovers. Good recipe for sure.

This is delicious soup. I used ditalini pasta and also added kale.
