"This is a filling and really good soup - with garlic bread and a light salad it's light,simple,great summer meal. I copied the recipe a couple years ago from the Houston Chronicle - when I was looking for something to use up extra squash and zucchini from the garden."

  1. Yum! This is such an easy, quick and nutritious dinner or lunch with friends. My kids liked it too and like most kids are pretty picky. We put some leftover rotisserie chicken in it for some added meaty flavor. Will definitely make again.
     
  2. Everyone in the family liked, which is saying a lot. We used 4 cups of chicken broth because that is 2 cans. Turned out fine.
     
  3. Very enjoyable soup! I made it just as it was. I think next time I may add some frozen Italian Green Beans and a little oregano, as this soup had an Italian flavor to it. I will be making this soup again. Easy and healthy. Thank you.
     
  4. This was a wonderful soup! We used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, and I added some red wine at the end for something different. I also used crushed tomatoes instead of the chopped. We really enjoyed it!
     
  5. After all the rich foods of the holidays it was it was so nice to have a warm, filling, healthful meal to serve the family. Yum! I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 tsp. dried basil and about 10 cloves of garlic. Other than that ;-) I followed the recipe as written. Just served it with crusty bread and orange wedges with parmesan cheese served at the table.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<P>I'm a Mom of three boys: 19, 16, 13 (Josh, Jake and Jonah) and a 1 yr old golden retriever-Jethro. I work full-time as a Medicare compliance analyst for a non-profit health insurer. I love to cook - although I don't always have enough time to do as I'd like to do. I don't especially care to do the clean up though- but who does?? Food in general brings people together and makes people feel at ease. My boys love to help out in the kitchen-especially if I'm baking bread or baking sweet treats for them. If anyone were to ask them what I put in a recipe - first two ingredients they'd list would be olive oil and garlic -- (well not for the sweet stuff..at least)! I'm constantly browsing to see how I can alter/influence my family's eating - as well as trying to get it on the table quickly! My boys are all hockey players - so I spend a lot of time at the ice arena. When I have time of my own..I try to get on the golf course or read cookbooks.</P>
