We had this for lunch today and it is a perfect soup for a light dinner or a lunch. I used pasta in the soup which came out great! The only thing I would prefer to see is for it to have a little more broth. Next time I make this I will add more broth/water to cook. Other than that, superb!!

reviewed for RSC 9. This is a simple and easy recipe to put together for a quick lunch or as an addition to dinner. Light and fresh tasting. I used low sodium, low fat chicken broth, chopped up the stewed tomatoes and it came out great! I like just plain veggies but family wants more substance. I do see this as a very versatile recipe, changing rice for noodles, adding meat, or additional veggies, even lentils to it. Will definitely make this again. Thank you

Did I ever love this soup, it was so good. I know the zucchini was optional, but I used it anyway, because I love having zucchinis in soup. I did use pasta - I used orzo, and it wnet very well with this soup.

This is a great soup! I added the zucchini and used alphabet shaped pasta for the little ones. My DW and I enjoyed this with a loaf of french bread. I will make this again. I joined Zaar to rate this recipe! Good luck to you chef.

I made this soup for lunch and then served it as an appetizer for supper. It was good and we enjoyed it. I used both the zucchini and the pasta. I decided on 4 stars because the tomato flavor was a bit overwhelming for me, and I don't really think that 1 tsp of brown sugar impacted the taste of this vegetable soup in any noticeable way.

This is a 5 star recipe for sure- It took very little time to make and was ready in 30 minutes. I diced the carrots & potatoes to a 1/4" dice- this helped shorten the cooking time. I used macaroni for the pasta. I skipped the zucchini. A wonderful hearty soup bursting with natural flavors.

Reviewed for RSC # 9. I loved the fact that this was low fat, but was a little concerned at the amount of sodium there too, but I’m certain that shop bought broth/stock would be mostly responsible for that, so I used my own homemade chicken stock instead. Just for personal taste I would cut back on the tomatoes a bit,as they were a little overpowering ompared to the rest of the balance and maybe the potatoes too if I was looking for lower carb dish. The rest was fine and it was a filling healthy lunch several days in a row as I strive for an healthier eating pattern. Please see my rating system: a lovely 4 stars for a low fat recipe that isn’t short on taste, and which as a chop and simmer recipe was very easy to put together. Thanks!

This is nion identical to my mums deli soup, I had to try this recipe, we do it with beef bones so I was so intiged by the chicken stock technique. I really enjoyed this, as did the rest of the family. Thanks for posting. Miss Pixie x x x :D

This soup is amazing, and so colorful and beautiful! I loved that I had all the ingredients on hand! I did make many alterations to the recipe, though. As I'm not the hugest fan of chunks of tomatoes, I subbed some tomato paste for the stewed tomatoes. I also omitted the sugar, and added a generous amount of basil and oregano and a couple huge cloves of garlic. I happened to have some veggie pasta spirals that were absolutely perfect for this dish. I had to knock off a star because the cooking time was way off-- the vegetables took a couple hours to get soft, and in that time, the broth reduced to almost nothing. I used four cups of chicken stock, but next time I'll use probably twice as much. It could have been that I didn't saute the vegetables long enough initially, and that is why they didn't soften as fast as they should have. All in all, this soup is terrific, and I will be making it again and again!
