I loved all the veggies in this soup. I thought it needed more liquid, but I may have just added too much pasta. This is a great healthy recipe!

I substituted cannelini beans for the chickpeas and cut the recipe in half, also left out the cabbage. Soup was delicious!

I made the recipe and I liked the chunky veggies. I had left out the tomato sauce because I didn't have any. I could not tell the difference. Next time, I will substitute kidney beans for the chickpeas.

I actually added a little sausage to make my meat eating hubby happy and we both loved this hearty veggie packed soup.

I have made this recipe a couple of times. It is very good. I reduced the amount of cayenne pepper on the second batch when one of my kids said it was a bit too spicy.

I just gave this to my kids for dinner; I used my immersion blender to blend out the chunks, and my son loved it! And I do too!

I didn't add the tomato sauce. I also threw in some leftover meatloaf crumbles. It was very good. It was very tomatoey without adding the additional sauce and I felt like it really needed some meat~threw in a couple beef boullion cubes as well.
