What a quick, easy, healthy soup! I made it exactly as written, and found that it wasn't quite flavorful enough...the pepper gave it some heat, but other than that, it needs some herbs or something. It is warm, filling, and very good for you, though, so I might make it again. Thanks for sharing!

This was really good! I made it lastnight for my boyfriend (he's sick). I added green beans, corn, kidney beans, and some extra garlic. I also did 2 cans of tomatoes and 5 cups of bouillon since I added so many veggies. I'm having the left overs for lunch today. I bet it will be even better!

Good and simple. I left out the macaroni, added fresh parsley and tarragon.

This was really yummy and super healthy! I added a bit of chicken bullion and some extra veggies, whatever we pulled out of the garden. It was really fast and tasted great! We really enjoyed it as stew the next day too :-) Thank you!!!

This is an easy and quick recipe. I liked it better using Italian Stewed Tomatoes. I got some advices and didn't add 3 cubes of beef bouillon. I only used 2 cubes, and the soup tasted good. Someone mentioned this as well, but the macaroni tends to soak up the water and becomes really huge when I had leftovers next day. My advice is eating up the soup on the day you make!? ;D

I wanted a good low fat, low carb, flavor-packed soup. I upped the vegetables by adding more celery, 1 large zucchini, frozen green beans and peas, ½ can of corn, and ½ head of cabbage. I didn’t use any water, just vegetarian chicken-flavored broth. I omitted the spinach because I didn’t know how it would taste as leftovers. I also omitted the pasta to cut down on calories/carbs. I used Italian spiced diced tomatoes and one small can of Italian spiced tomato sauce. This recipe was “souper” (sorry, I had to) easy and nutritious.

I modified this recipe quite a bit but it still turned out good. I didn’t have celery or spinach but I did have lots of cabbage so I put in three cups of chopped cabbage. I also added some hot turkey sausage, 1cup of kidney beans, 1 tsp. oregano and black pepper – this gave lots of flavour that some of the other reviews said the recipe was lacking.

Good, quick recipe. I used beef broth instead of water/bouillon, and added an extra cup and cooked the macaroni right in the soup. Good after 20 minutes; will probably taste even better after the flavors have had more time to meld.

Great "shell" recipe. We always look at this when starting to make minestrone, and change based on what sounds good. Generally we add Italian Turkey Sausages, and a whole lot more seasoning than is called for. We also crush the stewed tomatoes, and use small shells instead of macaroni. Great way to start and customize though!

Very good. I used pureed tomatoes as my husband is weird and doesn't like "chunky" pieces of tomoatoes. Great on a cold winter day with a nice hunk of crusty italian bread...yum!

This was my first foray into the world of minestrone, and I must say it was a success. I offer one bit of caution: careful w/ the food processor people! I made a rookie mistake and nearly pureed my veggies rather than chopping them! Nevertheless, I shared my soup and everybody loved it.

Good! I thought the cabbage was kind of a strange ingredient. Next time I would put in less of that and more spinach. I always use low salt bouillon so saltiness was not a problem for us. I also put in raw macaroni and let it cook in the soup to save time. Overall, very good and quick!

Good, quick, and easy. I did put 3 or 4 times the amount of elbow macaroni in to make it more of a main dish soup. I've started making my own soup at home since my husband is working from home and it seems yummier and more cost effective to make a pot of soup than to buy cans. This one is my second favorite so far (my favorite is a chowder though, so maybe not a fair comparison). I followed the advice of adding the spinach at the last minute so the leftover spinach isn't limp and so even my leftover soup was very yummy. When reheating, I had to add a bit more water to the bowls because the macaroni absorbed it.

I should have rated this long ago. I have made it several times, and it's always a hit. I cook the macaroni right in the soup, and double the chicken stock.
