this was a good soup, only change i made was to add diced celery and diced carrot to bump up the veggie factor. Overall, a good soup. -
I'm giving this a four even though I hated it. My husband loved it, so I can't just throw his opinion out the window! I think I didn't like the sausage. Easy enough to make, though. -
I was hesitant to rate this soup because I made so many changes, but the output (served with toasted mozzarella cheese sandwiches) was outstanding and it was so easy. I used a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes, added italian seasoning, 2 cups of vegetable broth and no sausage (we are vegetarians). Instead of the suggested beans I used garbanzos and pinto beans (my favorites). Also I added some carrots and bell peppers for some vitamins A and C (and because we had leftovers). I really liked the suggestion of mozzarella sandwiches with this soup! Will be making this again for an easy dinner. -
So easy and so tasty! I used Hot sausage and added a little extra red pepper flakes for some heat. I also added a couple more cloves of garlic. I only had regular diced tomatoes, so I added italian seasoning. I used 3 cups beef stock and 1 cup water. I made some french loaf with it, the bread was perfect to dip in the yummy broth. This recipes is definitely a keeper. -
This is a great and easy recipe. I have many this many times since I seem to always have the ingredients on hand. The only 2 changes I made is to use beef broth in place of the water and add some Italian seasoning to taste. Thanks for posting.

Quick and delicious, with tons of flavor! It was so quick, it was ready before I was! I used 4 cups of veggie stock instead of beef broth and water because I always have a bunch on hand in the freezer and it adds such great flavor. Also pumped up the garlic to 4 cloves (this is Italian, after all!). Since I didn't have seasoned tomatoes, I added about 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp oregano, and a few pinches of celery seed to the end of the saute. I wanted to use fresh celery in the saute, but my celery was way past its prime and good only for the stock pot. Garnished with a green onion sliced up, greens included. Served fresh ciabatta bread on the side. This is such a delicious recipe. Thanks for posting! -
WOW!!! This is delicious soup!! The combination of ingredients caught my eye and I couldn't resist trying it. I had some fresh Italian sweet sausage links that I removed the casings from, chopped up some celery stalks that I needed to use up, bumped up the cloves of garlic to 3, and picked a big purple onion to chop. I used Italian style tomatoes and opted for beef stock instead of broth. I did not have any white beans, or other beans to take the place, so for filler-sake I decided to add a small box of the tiny shell macaroni which worked out great. I used about 3 cups of stock and 1 cup of water just for the opportunity to add a little more flavor, and after a few shakes of your standard dried Italian seasoning and a bit of sugar (sorry...this is a learned trait...anything tomato gets a bit of sugar added) we had an absolutely fabulous pot of soup!! I think the broth was my favorite part and we used a good hunk of crusty bread for some serious sopping action!! Hope you don't mind all the little changes and additions and thanks so much for your great recipe!! :)
