I have been wanting to make th is recipe for years. First, I didn't add all 28 oz of canned tomatoes, I added one 14.5 oz of canned tomatoes, and added about 14 oz chicken broth. I didn't like the zucchini or the chick peas that it called for, and instead would have added potatoes. Other than that my kids really enjoyed it, especially my 2 year old daughter.

I didn't enjoy this recipe at all, too "herby" for my taste.

Great soup for a winter day. The cheese finishes it off nicely. First time making it and would definitely make again. I don't add the pasta thou to any finished recipe with sauce/broth. Add the pasta to the dish as I serve.

This soup is definitely worth the effort. The beef cooks up very tender. I do not use the bouillon and yet it is very tasty. Better than the soup you can get in restaurants!
