delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

a perfect, warm comforting soup that is healthy. I didn't have marinara sauce and just used diced tomatoes then added basil... and it was still delicious.Read more

Best ever tomato soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this soup with whole grain pasta but other than that I did not change a thing. This is now our favorite tomato soup. ... We all love it, flavorful and hearty. Really enjoyable on these cold New England nights. Read more

ADDICTIVE! My FAVORITE Soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is BY FAR my most FAVORITE SOUP! I've been making this in double batches and it never seems to last! My husband and I... cannot get enough of this soup, I always have to have ingredients on hand! I CANNOT stress enough the importance of GOOD marinara sauce though, Rao's (or better) is the ONLY way to go! Thanks to whome ever suggested it. Both their marinara and diablo sauces work fantastic!

Perfect Comfort Food -- Fast and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was delicious, and very fast and easy to make. It definitely was hot and spicy -- which was fine with me. But, you may... want to cut the red pepper flakes in half. Read more

AHHH-MAZING
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup is so quick and so amazingly yummy. I put the carrots, garlic and onions in a food processor and made it even more... easy! Also I substituted the chicken stock with veggie stock. Paired it with grilled cheese on crunch Italian bread..mmm.. It was so good there were no left overs :( The next day I made more but doubled the recipe for freezing! Thanks Giada.. you never let me down. Read more

Great weeknight dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love making this dish not only b/c it's super easy but also b/c you can do so much more to it than what's called for in the... recipe. I've added italian squash, italian sausage, and celery. It's also good with cheese sprinkled on top or plop a chunk of mozzarella in it. Yum!Read more
