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!

yum! I left out the cabbage and it turned out really well. Needs a little bit of extra spices though.

classic minestrone, I changed the stewed tomatoes to whole cooked tomatoes amd hand crushed them. also used elbo maccaroni, and used garbonzo beans insted of kidney beans--next time I will presoak the beans, as they were a little chewy, and add the pasta last as it tends to dissintegrate after cooking long enough to make all the veggies as soft as I like( I also made about 34 quarts, so cooking time will be a little skewed) All in all everyone liked it , even my 16 year old who hates everything(including her parents).

Delicious. However, I only added 1/2 the amount of cabbage since the soup was already so thick!! The amount of water that should be added was a bit unclear (canfuls). But a wonderful soup. I also used wholewheat pasta instead of white and it was great.

I thought the taste was okay, but there were too many vegetables in it. It sucked up all the juice and the soup was more of a mush. I am sure I will make it again, only leave out a lot of the cabbage and cut down on some of the amounts of vegetables.

I can't believe how easy it was to make yet really good and filling. I added extra tomato paste and sauce to make it thicker.

I really enjoyed this healthy meal. It was more like a stew. I ended up using half of the veggies and an extra can of tomato's and half the orzo and it worked out really well. Very good meal for vegetarians or if your on a diet!

Could the ingredient amounts be off? I needed to add a significant amount of additional liquid to make this the consistency of soup. In addition to the liquid that was called for, I added 2-8 oz. cans of tomato sauce and at least 4 cups of additional broth. I refigerated it overnight and by the next day the flavors had mingled nicely and the flavor was much better. I think I'll use less cabbage next time.

The flavor was quite good but I found that it was more like a stew then a soup. I would omit some of the cabbage and not so much corn the next time. My husband said it needed more of a meaty flavor, and he didn't like it at all.
