My husband and I love this recipe, but I did make a few changes. I used turkey Italian sausage to cut the fat, and I replaced the zucchini and green pepper with one bunch of sautéed kale. It's cooking on my stovetop right now.

Supererb!! The only thing I changed was my cooking method...instead of a crockpot, I boiled everything in a large pot for about 30 mins (I did brown the sausage as the recipe directed prior to though, then I cut them into bite size pieces). The soup was absolutely delicious! A keep for me & the Hubby!!

Delicioso! I took some to my mother, who declared it was out of this world. Very easy, and really good and filling. Instead of spinach fettucine, I used cheese tortellini cooked separately and added to each bowl. Oh, I'll be makin' this again!! Thanks!

This is a really good soup! I substituted the beef broth with vegetable and added fresh spinach and carrots. I also used dried parsley and bowtie noodles. I added the dry noodles during the last 20 minutes instead of cooking them first. It turned out great!

VERY GOOD. Only sub I made was to use Barilla Veggie Rotini noodles as that was all I could find. Thanks for the great soup.

Absolutely delicious. I halved the recipe and there was still plenty for 3 people and leftovers. I used a large can of crushed tomatoes with basil instead of the whole tomatoes and fresh basil instead of dried- just because I happened to have it on hand. I also added about 3 large chopped carrots. I used the spinach fettucini and didnt have the same issues with it that others mentioned (hard to get in spoon) because I broke it up before cooking. Very, very tasty!

My husband & my 1 year old both loved it! I didn't have any bell peppers & I used marsala red wine & a little bit of vermouth. I would have like it better if it had been thicker, so next time I will thicken it with corn starch. I sauteed the onions & garlic before adding them, but everything else I put in the slow cooker raw. I also added some raw spinach leaves, since I didn't have spinach pasta, and we served it over plain fettuccine. I followed another users advice and added the zucchini almost at the very end so it wasn't soggy, and I added 6 small zucchini, would have added more had we had it. Will make this again.
