This was so easy to make and taste so good! However, you do need to add some extra seasonings. I added salt, pepper, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese. Be sure to take the pot off the heat once the pasta is done because it will keep cooking. I forgot and ended up with some pretty big pasta shells in my soup. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for a great recipe Dawn!

This does need some spicing up, but it's still tasty and sooooo easy. The ingredients list calls for tomato sauce, but in the directions it says spaghetti sauce, so maybe the submitter meant spaghetti sauce which would have more seasonings than tomato sauce. I added garlic powder, parsley and salt and pepper. I had some already cooked elbow macarooni and an openned jar of tomato sauce, making this recipe so quick to make.

This was very easy to make, and my family loved it! I used italian style spaghetti sauce instead of plain sauce. Instead of frozen or canned vegetables, I used the fresh veggies that were in my fridge: celery, carrots, and green onions. I also used dry organic alphabet vegetable pasta. The result was wonderful, but after the leftover soup stood for a while, the pasta absorbed more water and the soup thickened considerably. I didn't put even close to the reccomended 8oz. Haha. next time I'll try putting much less pasta in. It's a work in progress ;)

I made this recipe last year and couldnt wait for winter so I could make it again. This is the easiest soup recipe you will find!! And it is delicious!! I made it with elbow macaroni and it was awesome. I also used a frozen bag of vegetables with broccoli, cauliflower, lima beans, and peas. Great recipe! I will keep making it and using it every winter!!

Wonderful recipe! I added a few extra items...black beans, a little bit of italian seasoning, a dash of hot sauce,a bit of garlic and onion powders and I like my soups thick so I added some cornstarch. It is an absolutely wonderful recipe, super easy and was ready to go by the time my grilled chicken was finished! I'll definitely be making this again!

This was so quick and filling. I had some rump roast on hand so I subbed about half the water for beef broth and threw in ~1.5 lbs of the meat, cut into soup-sized chunks. I followed the rest of the recipe as directed and The Man was amazed I had such a great soup so quickly. I will definitely make this again, thanks so much for sharing!

This was very good - and so easy! I used Classico tomato and basil spaghetti sauce. Instead of 6 cups water, I used 3 cups chicken broth and 3 cups water. I also boiled a chicken breast before hand and shredded it and added to the soup about 5 minutes before it was ready. Light and tasty soup! Will definitley make again!
