Wonderful! This very tasty soup takes only minutes to prepare and contains ingredients you most likely already have on hand. I made as directed with the only exception being that I added only 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning instead of the 3 teaspoons in the ingredient list. Thanks so much for posting, scratchcook!

I really enjoyed this soup! I made a couple of changes- added 1 cup of spiral pasta, an additional cup of chicken broth, and a package of (turkey) Italian sausage, just to make it a little heartier. Everyone ate it (a rarity at my house), and said they enjoyed it as well. I will definitely make this again. Thanks! :)

What a great soup. I only changed the brand of chicken broth to two 15 oz cans of Health Valley's lowfat chicken broth. I am making it again for tonights supper. Thank you for posting!
