I tweeked due to the water concern in the reciepe. I used Vegetable broth to replace all of the water. I used 4 garlic cloves and I added carrots and peas to my soup. Other than that all else was the same and I think it was good. The flavor wasn't strong but mild but flavorful and good.

This was delicious! I doubled the amount of pesto and used frozen broccoli and green beans. I had some fresh basil so I added it at the end. I also added seasoned cooked chicken breast, cut the pepper in half, and left the salt out.

I did not care for this recipe. It was a waste of time and money!

I had big hopes for this one but it just didn't have any taste....I kept rechecking the recipe to make sure I didn't forget anything and I didn't. Really lacking in flavor and no one ate more than a few bites. Disappointed in this one!

This is one of those wonderful soups for a cold, dreary day that warms you from the inside. My mom and I each had two large bowls for lunch. I did alter it a bit... I used dried tortellini instead of refrigerated, and I didn't have zucchini on hand. But it still turned out excellent! I added one can of chicken broth and some leftover turkey gravy, which no doubt gave it some more flavor, but I think even without it, it would have been great. And I made my own pesto, which is an easy (economical) imitation -- Place the following ingredients in a mini-food processor: 1 Tbs dried parsley, 1 Tbs dried basil, 1 Tbs grated parmesan cheese, 1 Tbs walnuts (although you may prefer pinenuts), and pour in olive oil as desired. Definitely would (will!) make again!
