I discovered this recipe in a 'Better Homes' magazine. Made it last night for the first time and it was excellent. I used Fusilli instead of the spaghetti and it worked perfectly.

Very good and easy to make. I made this for lunch today. I followed the recipe as written other then I used crushed tomatoes instead of diced. I didn't add the celery, carrot, the red pepper flakes or the sugar. I also added some parmesan cheese. I used beef broth instead of water. Mine was more like a soup then what is pictured. My boys enjoyed it. My son said he thought it tasted like stuffed peppers with noodles instead of rice.

    Fast, good, easy, healthy. My version was more 'soupy' than the photo. Smelled great cooking, and a good way to get rid of a spaghetti craving without all of the work and calories!

    Hubby and I really enjoyed this soup. When reheating it the next day, it was more like a Goulash, and still oh so good!! I did add 1/2 cup of finely diced green bell peppers, 7/8 cup of sliced baby carrots, 2 tsp. of jarred minced garlic, (15 ounces) of Hunts Traditional-Style Spaghetti Sauce, and added Italian Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano. Hubby thought the 1 tablespoon of sugar made the soup taste too sweet, so next time I will only add a 1/2 tablespoon, or delete it from the recipe all together. For some reason I couldn't find my bottle of crushed red pepper flakes, so I added 1/2 tsp. of Tabasco, and 1/4 tsp. of cayenne red pepper. I also added (3 ounces) of "thin" spaghetti, rather than the regular spaghetti. When simmering the soup, I covered the pot w/a lid, and simmered it for 15 minutes. I can't wait to make this again, but next time w/the crushed red pepper flakes. This soup was quite delish!! "Thank you" for the recipe dojemi.
