Great place to start if you read the reviews! I also added extra beef broth, and cooked pasta seperate and added to each bowl instead of the pot. Worked really well. As with any soup,added my favorite veggies, left out ones I don't like. Turned out really well. Thanks

I read the other reviews so was prepared for the lack of liquid, I used 2 extra cups of broth, and half the cabbage. I put in 3 garlic cloves for more flavor, and doubled the seasoning. It still was very dry and lacked flavor. Healthy though, but everyone just sort of picked at it and the huge pot of it just sat in the fridge.

I used Swansons reduced sodium chicken broth and added some hot Italian sausages to add more flavor and also to entice my hubby and boys to eat this... I cut back the cabbage to 1 cup but it was still pretty thick so I added about 4 more cups of broth. I left out the corn and added about 1 cup of kale I also used the small shell pasta instead of orzo. This was really good! *** (I tried to fine dice all my ingredients because I wanted this to look more like a soup than a stew, being careful not to overcook the veggies.)***

Really great recipe for soup. I added a lot more liquid. I actually used 10 cups of water and added vegetable stock bullion cubes to it, about 6 or so. Omitted the cabbage, as I've never had it that way. I also used baby red potatoes, and instead of onions I used onion powder. I also added chick peas/garbanzo beans, and rotini pasta. Super! I had so much I took some to my neighbor and she said it was the best ever.

This soup was great as-is. It was very full and hearty. My only suggestion would be to add some meat with a bit of flavor, like italian sausage.

This was really easy to make and very flavorful. It was a hit at my italian themed dinner party! I made a few alterations: I used half a head of cabbage and I chopped it loosely instead of shredding it. I'm used to bigger pieces of cabbage in the minestrone. I used shells for the pasta and double the potatoes. I also omitted the onion & corn. I added garlic to the recipe. My first step was putting a couple tablespoons of olive oil to the stew pot, then sauteeing a couple cloves of minced garlic with the italian seasonings for a minute or so. Then I carried on with the recipe as written. I'm going to be eating leftovers for days!

This is a wonderful VEGETARIAN recipe. It's great if you are a meat eater and want to add meat/meat broh, but it is nice to find a good recipe geared towards vegetarians.I don't really "get" why on every meatless recipe, people feel the need to suggest adding it. Vegetarians are allowed to have recipes too.

Very good - added some garlic, used white beans instead of kidney beans. Needed more broth than listed so just added as needed. Topped each serving with a sprinkle of freshly grated Romano cheese - delicious!

I used 2 cups veggie broth and 2 cups of beef. Need more broth though. Used a pkg of frozen mixed veggies, turned out greta. Would get rid of potato. No cabbage cause my family doesn't like. My daughter said it was better the Campbell select! Will make again and again! Thanks for the recipe

One of my favorites! Makes quite a bit so be ready to freeze your leftovers! Extremely hearty and tastes great! I used canned corn (draining it first!) and replaced the orzo with a cup and a half of whole wheat rottini. This recipe can be altered to your tastes very easily.

Use half the cabbage, add 2-3 extra cups of broth, also about 1 tsp. garlic powder and you have one heck of a tasty soup! This makes a lot of soup, and is also tasty warmed up the nexy day.

The soup was delicious but it was very thick, not a lot of broth. I had to add more stock. Next time I will use much less cabbage as I think it made the soup a too thick. Also it needed a couple different spices such as basil and garlic. But in the end it is a great fall soup!

I think this is a very good soup. I used shell pasta, and it needed to cook for longer to be done (20-30 minutes), & I made a few subs (less carrots, 1/2 the zucchini & a LOT less cabbage) & found the subs worked perfect. NOTE: It was very thick even though I left out a lot of veggies, so unless you're planning for more of a stew, have extra broth on hand in case. Thanks for an easy recipe that was yummy!
