Hearty Vegetable Soup

This homestyle Italian soup is quick, simple and delicious. As most of the ingredients are either pantry or kitchen staples, it is easy to fix for unexpected guests, busy days, or whenever you just want a good bowl of soup in a hurry. I usually use frozen spinach and don't alway puree the tomatoes, which cuts down on prep time even more. Enjoy

I love soup and this was terrific - I used frozen spinach and just sort of chopped up my tomatoes so mine was a chunkier texture - I had a handful of angel hair pasta to use up so dropped that in too - I had intended to add some diced carrots but forgot - so will try that next time. Made for Zingo, ZWT4 .

Although this soup has good tastes - it lacks in some area's I would next time add some diced celery and carrots add some italian seasonings - and more chicken stock - I did reduce the amount of spinach to 6 oz. fresh.

A yummy soup. I reduced the amount of spinach to 1/2, added some carrots and celery. The bacon was a nice addition. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

This had a nice flavor and was quite easy to make. I cut back the amount of spinach to 1/2 of a lb and I still think it was too much. I also felt it could have used another veggie, such as carrots. Will try again. Made for the ZWT 2008
