Ridiculously easy to make and super yummy. The bacon, carrots, and onion lend a sweet flavor to the soup that is quite nice. i used ziti because that was all i had. i also added some black pepper. It even reheats well. Thanks for the recipe!

This was an excellent soup. I doubled the recipe. I did use some help from using precooked bacon, julliened carrots. I used ditalini pasta. I made one addition. I had a pound of turkey smoked sausage that needed to be used up, so I half mooned it and added it. This was a very healthy and nutritous soup. Everyone that ate it, enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I also submitted a photo.
