    This is the first recipe I tried on my family. I have to say it went over big. They all told me it was a keeper and that I have to keep practicing. (a family joke- meaning make it often). I since then tweeked it a bit. I use shell noodles, cut out the peppers (kids dont like them) and used canned garlic and basil chopped tomatos because its quicker (no chopping)

    ***Editing to Add: First off, let me say I've been making this soup for years, and my family loves it. But the last time I made it, I came to this copy instead of the one in my book, and the 2 TBSP on the basil and oregano can be very overwhelming. I thought it seemed like a lot, but I went ahead and threw it all in in a hurry. I had to scoop most of it off the top of the soup (thankfully, it all floated to the top). In my original copy, it's 1/2 TSP of each. Just wanted to add this for anyone that may be interested.*** Di, I love this soup! Made it last night... I made no substitutions, but I added 2 extra cups of beef broth,as this is a loaded(with good stuff) soup, and we like good broth. And I used canned chopped tomatoes. The flavor of this soup is just incredible, and anyone that tries it falls immediately in love with it! Great served with green salad and crusty bread, for dipping, of course! Very easy to make, and smells so good while simmering, too. Anyone that likes soup should definitely give this one a go! And it deserves way more than 5 stars. too. Thanks for posting!

    I don't think words can describe how wonderful this soap is. I served it to my hubby and my mom in law and they could not stop raving about it. I did have to make a few substitutes: I did not have onions or red wine on hand, so I ommited them, but they were not missed. Instead of 2 tomatoes I used 1 can of crushed tomatoes, and I also threw in some mushrooms. I garnished it with parsley. YU-UM! Mom in law said it was one of the best things she ever tasted. Thanks, NurseDi!
