My husband and I simply loved this soup. I added half a medium onion to mine, and put in four cloves of garlic instead of two. We sprinkled shredded mozzarella cheese on ours before enjoying. -
This was a wonderful soup. Using frozen meatballs really makes this so easy. I souped it up just a little. I used 1 t. oregano, basil and thyme. I also used 4 minced garlic cloves and sprinkled fresh grated Parmesan on top. I served with Italian bread and salad. Thanks tonkcats. -
we love it...something EASY for the night before Thanksgiving...quite a hit. I added cheese filled tortellini instead of the elbow macaroni...it added a nice flavor burst. We WILL enjoy this in the future! Thanks -
My Grandson loves this soup. I tasted it before I added the pasta (orzo) and it was awesome. After cooking the pasta in the soup I detected a definite pasta flavor. Next time I will cook the pasta separately, drain and rinse well. -
I loved this soup! It was super flavorful and I couldn't get over how easy it was to make. I followed the recipe exactly.

Yum! I added 2 extra cans of tomato sauce (garlic and basil flavored) by accident and it was sooo good! I also added a handful of frozen greenbeans some chopped onions and some italian seasoning instead of the thyme. It was a hearty delicious meal perfect for a cool day. -
Perfect for end of the day cries for food on a busy day! I added 1/2 onion, more garlic and canned tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Served with grilled cheese. Great recipe!
