Made this a couple nights ago for dinner and we absolutely loved it! I did add some crushed red pepper as i like a bit of spice. Also, I kept my meat and veggies a little chunky as Ratalouille did. The only other thing I did differently was add an extra can off broth the next day because it thickened up quite a bit over night! Thanks again for the recipe Mimi, I will for sure be using it in the future!!

I made this for "My 3 Chefs-Nov. 2008. I picked this recipe because Mimi's picture looked so tempting and delicious, I just had to try it! I also love hearty soups and this fits perfectly into that category! I kept the pieces of sausage and zucchini a little larger, as I like a "chunkier" soup. I also cooked my pasta before hand and added it after cooking the zucchini, because I find when I use uncooked pastas, mine always comes out undercooked and not al dente. A crusty bread went great with this on a cold night. Awesome recipe Mimi ... thank you!
