It was better than I expected. I love it when I find new ways to get veggies in my diet.

Unbelievable!! The only thing I would change is cook pasta separate and serve it in each individual bowl as you dish the soup out. Otherwise the pasta gets mushy from sitting in the soup too long. Way to go!! this is the best minestrone there could possibly be!

This is good! I served it to 3 critics in my family. I used the pkg. of onion soup, varied the tomatoes/water, chicken broth (not beef), and turkey bacon. Served it with crusty whole wheat and parmesean. It makes a lot too which is great! I added the zuccini, beans, and spinach last but probably should have added them a good 30 min. before serving , they were aldente but fine!

My 5 year old said "You can make this soup every day mom". Therefore worthy of the 5 stars. I made mine on the stovetop, was in a hurry, so I fried finely diced onion and celery, grated the zuchini and carrot, omited the bacon and pasta, and forgot all the tomatoes! Was still very good, but the broth was a touch strong for my tastes. I'm sure adding the tomatoes would have helped with that.

Very good recipe. It wasn't the traditional recipe of Minestrone soup that we've had before, but it turned out great! I did add some garlic powder, and I left out the fresh spinach because there wasn't any at my grocery store. We'll be making this again!

Very good recipe. I ended up adding a 1 lb package of frozen vegetables and no zucchini. I had cooked about 1/3lb of ring pasta in the soup pot. The soup got rave reviews from the whole family. Will definately make this again. I also made the soup in an 8qt stock pot, and it was just the right size.

Please be aware: to make this soup properly it is a lot of work!Also, being from Europe I cant believe Italians use bacon. I used a inner HAM bone for stock, and then added the can of Beef stock. It is delicious, but I suggest somewhat more italian herbs, because it was kind of flat. Instead of stewed tomatoes, consider fresh on the vine tomatoes. If you use fresh, add some sugar. Make sure you buy fresh parmesan cheese, not the prefab stuff. It makes a huge different.

I made the soup exactly as written. The flavor s absolutely wonderful and it's chock full of goodies! However, it does make quite a large quantity. I went through two crock pots, finally putting everything in my largest stock pot, before I found something that would contain all of the ingredients. Unless you've got a stock pot, as opposed to a standard dutch oven, the quantity as written might create a headache. Tasty, but a headache.

Pretty good! I, however, had to alter the recipe just slightly. 6 slices of bacon, 1 cup of cooked ground beef, 4 carrots, 4 stalks of celery, 1/2 onion, 2 zucchinis, 1 (10.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes, 1 can (10.5 oz) of water, 2 cans chicken broth, 1 package of onion soup, and 2 tbsp of savoury seasoning! Simmered for an hour and it was delicious.

I made this soup today and my family loved it. I didn't have some of the ingredients so improvised on the vegetables and it still came out great.

I am about to make this soup again. I just decided to post a review and rating of this recipe because I thought it was a great and easy soup that anyone can prepare and serve with confidence. I really enjoyed making it and thought it made a really easy and enjoyable home cooked soup. Try it if you haven't!

I tried this and it is marvelous! I am making it again today and instead of bacon I am using ham and turkey carcasses I saved in the freezer. I boil them (for at least 2hours slowly) and they make a rich broth from which to make this soup. Thanks Ms Satler for your recipe ideas!

This recipe makes a lot of soup! I used a 6 1/2 quart stock pot, and it was almost to the rim. If you choose this recipe be sure to fry the bacon, brown the hamburger, and chop the veggies ahead of time, so you can throw it all together before dinner. Otherwise you will be watching this pot for a while.

Very good Soup. Easy to make, can be modified to your taste, and it's great on a cold evening. It has a lot of flavor. I added extra vegetables as suggested. I have passed this recipe on to several other people and can recommend it to anyone that likes Minestrone.
