I made this soup exactly as instructed, and thought it was fantastic! All of my guests loved it, too. If you want to give this soup some zing, use fresh cracked black pepper when you add the pepper…delicious! Ree, thank you for this fun, new and flavorful recipe!

This soup is delicious! I made it for a week-night dinner with friends, and it was a hit! I didn’t want to come home to make it prior to the dinner, so I prepared all but the roasted veggies the night before. I placed the soup in the fridge over night, came home the next day, heated the soup, roasted the veggies and threw it all together. It was so simple, and I was able to enjoy the rest of the evening enjoying my friends (and the soup). An added bonus: super easy clean-up!

It was simply perfection. If you are having problems with it soaking up too much liquid and don’t like it more stewlike- then add in more water or liquid and cook the pasta first before adding it. I’ve had it days afterward with nary a problem. As for flavor….if you are needing to have more flavor make sure you are using an imported parmesan..it makes all the difference in the world. Finally- you can add in some Jameson’s soup base…which I do with any soup and it adds some flavor..I also added in fresh basil. It just gets better and better. I’ve also seen a minestrone with tiny shells…that might help on liquid levels. But I like mine thick like this and not so brothy. YUM YUM YUM.

Soup is perfect…I made it and my daughter took it to school where the teacher proclaimed it nectar from the Gods or something like that It was only my 2nd time making it. Thanks for making me realize I CAN make soups and they are awesome too!!!

This was delicious! Would definitely make it again. I ate it for lunch the two following days after I made it.

Loved the taste of the roasted vegetables. This made tons of soup and we froze 2 seperate portions so when I don’t feel like cooking we can eat it later.

Made this tonight for the fam. Loved the roasted veggies. I had to had and extra 4 cups of broth at the end since the pasta soaked up so much, I also used a full cup, which may have made the difference. I also added a small can of tomato paste to add some boldness. Oh, and I added parsley, thyme and oregeno from the garden and garlic and parmesean rind. YUM!

made this last week for the gals at work and changed it to accomodate a vegan. used veggie broth, vegan pasta, and of course the parm was on the side. OH boy was it good! i had to make mine the night before, no choice and it sat in a crockpot until lunchtime, on high even, and the veggies were still fine. the pasta had become huge tho! I felt like it need a ton more mushrooms! those were the best out of all the veggies. the next day i made another batch and beefed it up some. really- used beef broth, cuz i ran out of chicken, and added 2x the mushrooms. i added hot shot pepper mix to that pot, too. a very versatile and adjustable recipe! yummy!
