Very Good and Healthy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this tonight and used some squash my husband had grown and frozen. I added a can of Great Northern beans for a little... extra fiber and the soup was very tasty and satisfying. The pre-seasoned tomatoes added so much flavor and made everything easy!Read more

I was actually surprised by how good this soup ended up being. I've never cooked zucchini before and was a bit nervous but I... was really pleased with the result. I'll definitely be making this again.Read more

Excellent, easy soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this on her "souperdelicious" episode this week, and felt COMPELLED to try it. I read the reviews, and basically did... everything extra that everyone suggested: added bacon drippings beforehand, added celery salt (pretty liberal use...I was afraid it was too salty, but no), garlic, broke up the spaghetti sticks and threw those in, threw in some flat-leaf parsley I had chopped up...suffice to say it was the best darn soup I've ever made. I have to admit I was concerned it wasn't flavorful enough, but the kosher salt and celery salt and pepper took care of that. Everyone loved it (including me...three bowls!)...great soup Paula!Read more
