So easy and low in sodium

This soup is quick and can be made low in sodium. My 9 yo has requested it on cooler evenings.

Tasty, quick, easy, spicy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great taste, very easy to make, ready in minutes! My modifications: I used a less expensive jar of marinara. (San Marzano... is $10!) I only used 1 carrot. I added a fresh stem tomato (chopped). I doubled the amount of pepper flakes. I cut up a french baguette for dipping. I love tomato soup!Read more

Super Easy and Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup is so easy, but has great depth of flavor! I added a dollop of goat cheese in the center of each bowl for some... richness. Next time I may add a long crouton to each bowl for stirring and crunch.Read more

Loved this recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The only thing I changed was vegetable broth instead of chicken broth (for my vegetarian hubby).! I knew this one would be a... hit the moment I saw Giada prepare it on her show. I was right - it is wonderful! Thanks, Giada!Read more

Quick, easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband so enjoyed this soup and so did I! I was very surprised at how flavorful it was not to mention how easy. I did... only put 1/8 of a teaspoon of red pepper flakes since I can't eat anything too spicy and it was spicy enough even for my husband who likes lots of spice. This is a 'make again' recipe and tell my friends about it too. Thanks Giada! Susan from AZRead more
