This is a fantastic soup recipe! I had this cooked and on the table in 40 minutes. I had printed this out some time ago and up came the perfect opportunity to try it. I added a can of navy beans and still put in 1/4 cup of pasta. I also added 1 t garlic powder and 1/4 t red pepper flakes. Heat it up a little!! Barb, I love this soup! Thank you for the recipe!

This is almost EXACTLY the "Quick" recipe I use for soup. If I don't have time to simmer for hours and hours. Instead of the frozen veggies, I use Veg-All and I also add a can of dark red kidney beans. Sometimes I use sausage instead of the ground beef. Gives it an extra "Kick". I'm a Soup kinda girl. Love Soup!!

This excellent soup. Half my family don't care for the pasta in it, so I cook the pasta before serving, and add it to the one that like it. When I freeze it I don't put the pasta in so it may be served as is or add pasta at serving time. Tastes just as good.

The response when I served this recipe for dinner was "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, IS THERE ENOUGH FOR SECONDS?" Slight variation did not detract from the basic intent. True to my heritage, and mother's habit, I added a splash of balsamic vinegar (its just something I do)and instead of frozen veggies, I used a pesoaked mixture of dried legumes (yellow and green split peas, white and red beans, lentils and barley). I must say also that the combination of chicken broth and packaged French Onion Soup had sufficient seasonings.... While it was cooking, I could not stop myself from frequent "taste-tests"...each taste was better than the last. It is a good recipe and worthy of its name....I shall be making this one again...and again....and again. Many thanks for sharing...I will continue to share as well...

This is such a quick and easy soup recipe! Tastes like the soup has been simmerered and stirred all day . A keeper for sure. Thanks for posting, Bloomie! =)

As it is, for us, it is a little too bland. I added some crushed red pepper, fresh garlic, oregano, chopped parsley and some sauteed mushrooms to zing it up some. I've also tossed in a heel of parmesan to melt into it.

I'd forgotten that I had this recipe until I saw it posted. Wonderful taste and easy to make. I omitted the pasta since I'm doing the "no-carb thing" and added some fresh mushrooms, but still a great tasting recipe!
