This is a keeper!! My quiet son said "Good soup Mom" - and that's a mouthful for him. Since you already had such great reviews from very reliable sources, I took the liberty of making this in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours. It turned out great!! I did add one extra cup of water, used low sodium products and did not add salt. I cooked the pasta on the stove and stirred it in. The flavor, combination of vegetables and many textures of this soup make it wonderful!! Thanks Bella Donna!!

Fabulous cold weather soup! I used an Italian seasoning instead of parsley, salt, oregano & basil because I lost 2 hrs time after slicing my finger on a mandolin & going to the ER for 6 stitches! Also added 1 1/2 cups pasta. My grown sons refuse to eat this "finger soup" & that's fine with me! I froze it in single serving containers & enjoy it on long, cold 12 hr shifts in my ER! Thanks so much!
