Made this soup this morning before leaving for work. Had some for my dinner tonight. Yummy soup, although I found it needed a bit more spice for me. I used one med. zucchini and one small yellow squash and I used fresh mushrooms. Plus I put in a bit more than 4 shakes of Tabasco. I would make this again but add in some other spices. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for Holiday Tag '09 Forgot to mention I threw in a handful of brocoli and cauliflower that I had left in the fridge.

This is a simple soup to make that is very colorful. I did not have the veg bouillon so left that out. The butter and olive oil were left out to make a very light soup for lunch. For the Tabasco sauce, I decided to try one little tiny dried chili piquin. WOW, did it pack a punch! I'll make this again but will go back to using Tabasco. Made for *Gimme 5 2009* Game.

I made this with homemade vegetable stock rather than the chicken broth, since my vegetarian son & DIL were here for the meal! BIG HIT, GREAT TASTE, MOSE SATISFYING! The only thing I did differently was to leave out the mushrooms (Maybe, with a little arm-twisting, I'll include them another time)! Thaks for sharing the recipe!

My husband had two and a half big bowls of this soup. So, that is enough to get 5 stars out of me! The only change I made was not to use the oil or butter. The recipe still turned out great and made this nearly fat free. The pepper made it hot enough for me. I am a spice wimp though. My husband did shake on his own hot sauce. Made for 1-2-3 tag.

Excellent soup. I just love soups in the fall and winter and this one is a keeper. It's very full flavored without being too heavy for a lunch and can be served with bread and a salad for dinner. It's made with things that I usually have on hand and that's another plus and to those that fact that DH loved it and it's a star in this house. My only change was very minor, I used pinto beans in place of kidney.
