We made this soup and it was absolutely delicious! We omitted the zucchini (as we have zucchini haters in the house!) but I'm sure it would be even better with zucchini! As my partner is a pasta maniac, I added extra pasta...DON'T DO IT! Follow the recipe (and if you want more pasta, boil it in a separate pot) and use the amount of pasta the recipe states. Otherwise, the extra pasta will soak up all your broth! A GREAT low sodium soup...MAKE IT!
