This recipe is delicious. It takes a while to chop all the veggies, but it freezes well and makes great leftovers. We like it with lots of cheese. My family raved. We've made it several times... a great recipe to use if you're cooking for a vegitarian.

This recipe was wonderful. My husband who hates to eat anything without meat in it liked it so much he requests it once a week. The only change I made was I added 2 Tbsp ketchup instead of the tomoto paste

Had to add water and olive oil because it was too thick and burning the bottom of my pot. Otherwise it turned out pretty well. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is very simple to make, is quick, and has super results. Classic Italian! Just like the North End of Boston.

My first try at minestrone and this recipe is excellent. Everyone in my family loved it and the leftovers didn't last long. I plan to make this again tomorrow and I can't wait!

In my version, I used spinach instead of cabbage. I used a can of kidney beans and a can of small white beans (not cannellini), which worked really well. I left out the cheese as well. I thought the broth was bland, so next time I'll add something to spice it up - probably some basil and red pepper flakes. My family liked it! Will make again.

My hubby says my best soup yet. The only changes I made were no potatoes or tomato paste. I added 1 tsp.oregeno, 1 tsp. basil, 1/2 tsp. rosemary, 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp. fennel seeds and the addition of 1 lb. of ground meat. I cooked up some Ditalini pasta seperately to add to the soup so that I had plenty of broth.

This is a wonderful basic recipe. I did all sorts of other crazy things with it. I added tukey bones, a can of corn, two fresh tomatoes and one small can of tomato sauce instead of the tomato ingredients called for in the recipe. I omitted the cheese (to make it parve). I used pinto beans instead of cannelini beans. I had no celery so I omitted that. I added much more water and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper. I didn't have cabbage so I omitted that. Come to think of it, I guess I didn't make this recipe at all but created my own instead! :-)

This recipe is absolutely FANTASTIC!! I did make a few of my own changes by eliminating the potatoes and adding fresh zucchini and green beans. I also seasoned the soup with lots of oregano and basil in addition to the seasonings called for in the recipe. I also doubled the recipe so we have plenty of leftovers to freeze. Thanks so much for what has already become a family favorite.

Nothing I cook ever tastes good, but this soup tasted AMAZING! Even my picky eater husband loved it! I followed the recipe exactly, except I did not add salt, because the broth was high in sodium. I also used olive oil instead of butter to sautee the vegetables. I served it with shredded mozzarella and some crutons. I'm hanging on to this recipe! Thank YOU!

This soup was great. I did prepareit a little differently than it originally called for. I added tons more carrots - I love carrots in soup - I also added fresh green beans and zucchini. In addition to the stewed tomatoes and chicken broth, I also added tomato sauce and a whole can of tomato paste. I also added a can of red kidney beans, fresh spinach, the potatoes and fresh parsley - along with salt, pepper, oregano, basil and a small amount of crushed red pepper just to give it a little kick. I cooked the elbow macaroni seperately and added them after cooking to the soup (so they would not absorb all the liquid) and it is still really thick and delicious. We grated fresh parmesan on top and ate it with a salad and bread - what a great fall dinner!!!!Thanks for the great recipe!

Excellent soup! Everyone in the house love it, but I would suggest cutting the amount of salt in half or getting rid of it alltogether if you decide to use kielbasa or chorizo:-)

Wonderful recipe, thank you! The recipe is great the way it is, I followed some of my previous reviewers by omitting the cabbage, and substituting kidney beans for the potatoes. Next time around I will make my own chicken broth for that extra richness, and add zucchini as well. Lovely soup, thanks again.

FANTASTIC!! Instead of using regular chicken broth, I first roasted the Christmas day turkey bones, then boiled them in water for an hour with a couple of carrots, an onion, a few bay leaves and some pepper corns, to make a rich delicious broth. I also added some left-over turkey meat, and used a can of kidney beans. Other than that, I followed the recipe to the letter. The result was amazing - a rich, tasty hearty soup, just perfect for a Winter day. I will definitely be making this again! (3.17.06 This recipe has gradually evolved into an 'Everything but the kitchen sink' kind of soup - it's great for using up all those sad-looking veggies that take up fridge space, those 90% empty boxes of pasta in the cupboard, and the half can of whatever beans you didn't use. It doesn't matter what you use, it always tastes great!)

This is a keeper! This family really likes soup and this is right up there with our favorites. I did have to make a few changes due to what I had available in the pantry. I used vegetable stock instead of chicken, kidney beans and green beans instead of cannellini and cabbage and a bit of basil for good measure. Try it today!
