This was a GREAT way to use up random things we had in the freezer (half a bag of frozen cheese ravioli, about 7 pearl onions, 1 and 1/2 bags of frozen veggies, plus open chicken broth in the fridge.) I liked adding montreal steak seasoning as one person suggested, a small bag of salad shrimp (added a lot of protein to the recipe) as well as "juice" from a jar of minced garlic. Served with a salad - great, easy, versatile dinner!

This was good. I say three stars, but my husband wants me to make it again, so I give it 4. The 2 cups of water to 1 bouillion cube was not enough to cook the amount of ravioli in so I did add more water. I had extra large cubes, so I put the while cube in and I also used frozen mixed veggies because I couldn't find just carrots and peas. I added more veggies, would add more spinach too. The final outcome was good though, I usually don't like to modify the recipe the first time I make it, but there simply wasn't enough liquid or veggies for my liking as written.

I really liked it and hubby absolutely loved it. I used two cans of chicken broth instead of the chicken bouillon and water. I also added onion powder and some cut up zuchhinis, used a lot of mushrooms and spinach (actually a lot more than the recipe called for)and 3 cloves of garlic. Yummy!

The only change I made was to use chicken broth and add a few shakes of parmesan cheese on to each serving. The only prep work was to slice the mushrooms. Very little work for such a big flavor. Loved it, and will make this again for an easy dinner.

This was fast & easy but seemed to be lacking something. I didn't have mushrooms but did add in some diced fresh tomatoes. Also have a grinder with lemon/pepper seasoning so put a few grinds of that in to perk up. Put in about a tbls of soy and four cans of extra broth to make it more soup-like. Put in three cloves of fresh garlic and a few shakes of onion powder. This seemed to perk it up a bit. At the table I shook on some parmesan cheese and this gave it alot of flavor. I'm wondering how this would be if we left out the peas and added in more chopped tomatoes and lima beans. Will try and post if good later. Thanks for a pretty good recipe.

This reminds me of a soup my grandma used to make, and it turned out very well. I added more water (4 cups), and used an extra bouillon cube (3) rather than the soy sauce. It will definitely be made again and again.

I loved this! The only thing I didn't put in it was peas because I didn't have any. I did add 2 serrano chilis and to cool it down, a can of creamed corn. It tasted very fresh and was very healthy.

This is a really easy, fast, tasty recipe. Use any combination of filled pasta and veggies that you have on hand. You can't screw this up.

I thought this was great, I did have to add ALOT more water, if you want it to be like soup I recommend doing 6-8 cups of water and adding more seasoning as needed, I also added more veg and the garbanzo beans. Will definitely make again!

This soup was really very good. I used three cans of chicken broth and montreal steak seasoning. This was a great alternative to red sauce. Thanks for the recipe.

A nice quick and easy soup. I like leftovers so I doubled everything. Next time I will add more water and bouillon.Left out spinach because I didn't have any. I used cheese tortelini instead of ravioli and canned mushrooms. Husband really enjoyed it but said it wouldv'e been better if I had used fresh mushrooms like the recipe called for. I think the broth couldv'e used some additional seasoning but I'm a cooking novice and didn't know what to add, maybe marjoram thyme or chicken seasoning

Colorful and tasty soup. We loved the combinations of textures as well. Our personal preference would be to have a stronger tasting broth so next time rather than the 2 cups of water and 1 bouillion cube I will use 2 (or more) cups of chicken broth. I also think sometime I'll try using half cheese ravioli (or tortolinni) and half spinach ravioli (or tortolinni) then omitting the baby spinach leaves. As RAFTERMANIA said, it is a good recipe to add whatever veggies or leftover meat you might have available. I think adding canned garbanzo beans would be good too and would raise both the fiber and protein.
