Terrific mid week meal. I clearly did not add enough fluid or my noodles soaked up a large amount as mine was not as soupy as the photo. I will add further stock to the leftovers. Nonetheless it was really tasty and we had some crusty bread on the side. I added a red pepper diced up too. This is my favourite style of recipe as it uses staple ingredients and does not warrant a shopping trip in order to get dinner on the table. -
I really, really like this soup! I made it yesterday and I tasted it and thought it was good. After letting the flavours blend over night, it is even better. I did increase the broth and tomatoes by about 1 cup because I like alot of broth. Served with freshly grated parmesan on top! Made for Soup Fest 2011 Event. Thx Paula! -
WOW!! That is good soup!! This is going into my favorites for sure! Due to onion haters in the house (not me) I used onion powder in place of onions. I walked away while simmering not realizing I left the soup on a higher setting so my soup came out a bit thicker then normal, but still very delish! I love the combination of flavors and you really don't need much salt. I used low sodium chicken broth and it was very tasty. Will make again for sure thanks!! -
Very good Italian style soup with the addition of the tomatoes oregano and basil. -
This turned out wonderfully!! My family and I don't eat soups very often, but due to a nasty bug that's going around I thought I'd try some comforting chicken soup, and indeed it was. I doubled it to feed us all and didn't change a thing. Thank you PaulaG for such a tasty recipe!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
