This is a great basic recipe that can be customized with whatever you have on hand. I made it with a mix of hot & sweet Italian sausage that I removed from the casings and browned. I used black beans because that's what I had. I made this more like a "stoup" -- a little thicker than a soup, thinner than a stew -- and mixed in a bag of Success brown rice just before serving. Family loved it!

So good!! Increased garlic, added an onion. Accidently used crushed tomato (28 oz). Broke some spaghetti up and added it -- worked great. Used frozen spinach. Can't mess this soup up! Will make again!

This soup was AMAZING and very easy to make. My brother, who doesn't even really like Italian food, even liked it. I recommend serving with some thick, crunch garlic bread. Very filling, makes enough for lunch the next day too!

AMAZING!!! One reviewer remarked that this recipe has alot of "wiggle room"...perfectly put. My amendments were: ground pork in place of sausage, used up the left over spaghetti sauce, added mushrooms, pinto beans, sweet red peppers, diced onions, and whole wheat pasta. We added a sprinkle of parmesan for garnish. We are huge soup fans and will be eating this ALOT. Over 20,000 people have saved this recipe to their recipe box...ALL of them will be glad they did!!!

I made this last night and while it was indeed a good soup (love the spinach in it) I just felt that it was missing *something.* My husband agreed. Not sure what though. I will be making it again and playing with the recipe to see if I can make it suit our tastes better.

This is so delicious and so easy to make. I love it! However, I use Italian turkey sausage. I bumped up the garlic just a little bit too and added about 1/2 cup of elbow macaroni. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!

Very good recipe. I did make a few changes based on my family's taste. I swapped celery for the zuchini and used diced tomatoes instead of stewed. I also drained my beans and added ditalini pasta. Served with a great crusty bread and sprinkled fresh parmesean cheese on each bowl. Will be adding this to my rotation.

This was really good! I had some leftover sweet italian sausages & was looking for a diffrent way to use them up then the way we always have them. I will admit I was a little hesitant making this as its not at all something I would normally make but I've been in the soup mode lately since its getting chilly out & with all the good reviews I had to try it out. I changed the recipe around a bit based on other reviewers suggestions & my own personal taste. I used 2 can's of chicken broth because thats what I had on hand. I also added to equal amounts of water to cut the salt down. I also left the added salt out it didn't need it. I used 3 cloves of garlic cause I love it!! And instead of zuccini & spinach I used mushrooms & potatoes. It was delish! I had it again for lunch today & it had even more flavor today!! Great easy & quick soup to throw together for a weeknight meal :)

At other reviewers suggestion, I used hot italian sausage, 2 boxes of frozen spinach and orzo pasta. My husband (a pickey eater) said this is the best soup he's ever eaten!

This is a great platform for any italian-style soup. I used this recipe last night as a base for my own hodgepodge. Even before I began adding extra ingredients I found that it is necessary to have a minimum of 1 more can (about 1.5 cups) of broth. To boot, I read all the suggestions from other cooks and incorporated most of them, so I ended up needing much more liquid than the original recipe calls for (I lost track of the measurements after a while... part of what makes this a fun soup). Mine had a little of everything: mushrooms, rice, potatoes, pasta, red onion, LOTS of extra garlic, plus everything in the original recipe. It really does turn out more like a stew- an incredibly delicious italian-style stew! Definitely worth keeping around, especially for the fall/winter seasons.

I doubled the recipe and took it to a church function. Everyone really enjoyed it. There was none left to bring home. I add some barley to it and used white beans. I will be making this again.

Great soup! As written, it's more stew-like than soupy, and I ended up adding another can of broth like other reviewers mentioned. I also added an extra small can of tomatoes with chiles for some added spice that my family likes. Don't leave out the spinach - it makes what would be a good soup a great one.

Excellent and tasty! I used Italian sweet turkey sausage and added chopped onion to the initial garlic and tukey browning. I also added about three cloves of garlic, 2 Tbsp. of oregano, and a pinch of red pepper. Will definitely make again.

We don't traditionally like soup but this is great, I can't seem to make it wrong. We've used ditalini, potatoes, rice and the beans it calls for. I always used diced tomatoes instead of stewed because I like them better. It's a winner, company worthy and really good. My husband, who travels during the day, says it's good cold. We always use fresh spinach.

Super easy, super good. I've made it twice in a week. I do drain and rinse the beans (to keep it from getting too starchy) and found that it didn't need any salt.

I made this using only the ingredients stated in the recipe except I sprinkled grated Romano cheese on top of each bowl. I did not measure any of the ingredients. The soup is excellent as is with no changes needed. I had a friend who loves to cook over for lunch and he asked for the recipe, first time ever. I used low sodium beef broth, tomatoes, and I rinsed the beans. I wanted to be able to control how much salt was in the soup. Easy and Excellent!!!! I’m sending this recipe to my son, sister, brothers and my 81 year old dad. They will love it too. Enjoy!!!!
