The first time I made this recipe I followed it to exactness. Upon tasting it, it reminded me of a minestrone soup I had at a restaurant once. The second time I made it, I sauted 1 chopped onion along with two diced carrots, and added 1 1/2 cups of small shell noodles to the last 15 minutes of cooking time. That was outstanding as was the first attempt!!

This is a delicious and quickly prepared soup. The heat of the salsa you choose changes the flavor. We enjoy this with corn chips in lieu of tortilla chips!
