I didn't add the lemon zest though.

I recently started weight watchers so this seemed like a great soup plus filling. I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth (0 points and kept it all vegetarian. I used chick peas and pink kidney beans because I didn't have any white beans in the house. Didn't matter. Also, I did omit the lemon because lemon for me belongs in lemonade only! This was terrific!

Loved this soup. The lemon gave it a bright flavor you might not expect in a bean soup. Made it on Sunday and my husband and I ate from it the rest of the week. Highly recommended.

The lemon zest adds another layer of flavor! It is a perfect fall soup.

My husband loved this soup! so easy to make too, one pot meal! I don't eat onions so left those out.. but other than that followed the recipe pretty close except for a few things...I didnt have fresh rosemary on hand, but I did have fresh thyme so added some fresh thyme leaves, as well as dried rosemary. Also, because of other reviews I only zested half a lemon and juiced half a lemon and a bit more to taste. The lemon really brings out the flavors of the veggies and makes the broth tasty and light. I would suggest juicing half and then tasting it before using a whole lemon.. I thinka whole lemon woud've been too much and overpowered the other flavors in the broth. I followed the liquid measurements exactly and the broth was perfect consistency.. not like a stew but like a nice brothy soup. I didnt add the pasta in the pot because I wanted to freeze left overs and pasta doesnt reheat well.. so I boiled some gemelli pasta I had on hand in a separate pot and just added the pasta to each individual dish, like Rachael suggested when freezing soup. This soup was delicious!!

This is an easy and tasty soup. I will be making this many more times! Everyone in my family enjoyed it, including my four year old daughter.

This soup looked so good on the episode I had to try it right away. Adding the green beans, lemon zest and juice were all ingredients I wouldn't have thought to try - but worked well together. Overall a very good tasting soup, fast to make and makes a big pot. Did thing the seasoning a bit bland so added extra of her spices as well as a dash of red pepper flakes. Also put in extra chicken stock as the soup was too thick for my liking. Overall I will make again with her core recipe. Might next time try potatoes instead of the pasta for a differfent taste.

I made this soup for lunch immediately after seeing Rachel's show. Unfortunately I missed the part where she added the beans and wasn't sure whether to add the liquid or drain. This isn't mentioned in the written recipe. I drained the beans, but the soup seemed a little thick so I added a bit more water. On the plus side, this soup can be made quickly with pantry staples. On the minus side, the lemon flavor was a bit intense for my husband & I. I wish I had added just a little of the zest and juice and taste tested instead of adding the entire amount,

I caught the end of this episode and saw how good the soup looked so I decided to try it. I followed the recipe exactly, including adding in the lemon zest and juice. It is delicious. The lemon at the end really gives it a 'bright' flavor. Serve with fresh parmesan and crusty bread - a perfect meal.
