Summer Squash Soup with Pasta and Parmesan

I made this soup for my family, and although we all enjoyed it, it didn't fill up my husband or son (kinda new that going in). Served with garlic basil toast. I didn't have fresh herbs and used smaller amounts of the dried. I need to experiment with the amount as the soup was on the bland side, however this can be a good thing if you're in the mood for something lighter. It was easy to make, and I sliced, quartered and slivered the zucchini/squash (therapy). I had bought pecorino romano cheese instead of what the recipe called for, and it was a nice addition and actually made the soup more alive. I will make this again, but am sad at the sodium amount. Perhaps will use a little more water and less chicken broth next time.

Very tasty! Great for summer herbs and squash. We upped the vitamins by pouring hot soup over about a cup of fresh spinach. Delicious.

This soup was excellent! My husband asked me to make it again and I had to scramble to find the recipe...glad it was still here. We do love it! (I love the fact that it's so easy to make.) I prepared it with jarred herbs/spices as I did not have the fresh on hand...it was delicious.

This soup was great for so few ingredients! I used what I already had at home, fresh basil, but otherwise dried herbs, and whole wheat rotini instead of regular bow-tie pasta. Reading a tip from another reviewer, I only boiled the pasta for 5 minutes before adding the squash. It was perfectly cooked. I was surprised at the flavor and it was quite filling as a meal. I will definitely make again!

My only problem was that the pasta did not need as much cooking time as is stated. Even with softer pasta, it was still delicious and simple.

This was very easy to assemble and had a fresh taste. However, I found it a little bland. It tasted like noodles and summer squash in chicken broth with a few herbs. I think next time I would maybe carmelize onions and then saute the summer squash with the onions for a couple of minutes to give it a little more depth. I will try it again, but it definitely needs to be modified for my taste.

I was pleasantly surprised. This soup was easy and quick to follow and delicious (but I added salt...)

A simple soup, but surprisingly tasty. Some reviewers found it bland, which I think is due to the lack of salt. We used regular chicken broth instead of the reduced-sodium and it was perfect. Also, we used a full tsp of fresh thyme, and substituted the fresh oregano for 1/2 tsp dried.
