This is really good! I used Caesar dressing but think it would be really good with creamy italian as well. This makes a lot of food so I have quite a bit of leftovers but that's okay because it will make a wonderful brownbag lunch for me. Thanks so much for the recipe! UPDATED! I have been eating the leftovers for lunch and I am in love with this recipe. The flavors have combined so well together after sitting in the fridge for a few days. It is all gone and I will be making more this weekend.

We've had this soup two times now, and it's delicious. We made it once with the Caesar dressing and also once with the Italian dressing. Both were good, but we preferred it with the Italian dressing. Yum -- cheeses, chicken, pasta, and your wonderful choices of vegetables. We loved it (and I reheated some leftover pasta salad the next day and it was great -- the flavors had melded even more). Thanks for sharing this recipe!
