LOVE this recipe. I'm just a simple college kid but when I'm home I like to cook once in a while for my family. The soup came out AMAZING but of course I made some changes like everyone else. I used fresh parsley (and very little), chopped baby spinach instead of cabbage, I added chick peas and red kidney beans, and used probably triple the tomato paste. Even when I doubled the recipe, I added more chicken stock to have enough broth to go with all the beans, veggies, and pasta! The stewed tomatoes I had to chop up a little bit and I bought them with oregano and garlic flavor so that helped the soup. Everything came out great! Everyone raved and I will be making it again soon! Give it a try!
