Very tasty soup! I followed others' advice and cooked my (whole wheat) macaroni separately. I used fresh green beans, adding them to the pot about halfway into the 20 minute simmer time. I also made the soup vegetarian. I used Italian seasoned tempeh and followed the maker's instructions on turning it into tempeh sausage. I also used veggie boullion instead of beef. End result- a hearty yet healthy soup!
