I've made this now several times and my family and friends love it. The recipe is simple and easy to do. I like a little more spice and have substituted the crushed tomatoes with Rotel tomatoes with chilies...

This simple recipe was AMAZING! My husband and I loved it and hopefully the leftovers will be even better. We omitted the mushrooms as my husband doesn't like them, and added some dried parsley and rosemary. We served ours with some fresh crusty bread dipped in olive oil and a bottle of shiraz. This is definitely a keeper!

Made this a day ahead and took it camping! It was so tasty!!! Very easy to make and was a nice change instead of having chili! I'm sure it would be great for freezing too! It's in my recipe book for good!

Flavor was absolutely amazing. I'd follow the recipe to a tee as it was the perfect ratio to make every ingredient stand out in its flavor. I paired this with Cheesy Grilled Cheese.

We sometimes substitute gound turkey for beef, and often add cheese tortellini- we've been making this since it came out in SL 10 years ago.

This was wonderful. We added a can do cannelloni beans because we like beans. Very flavorfu as written. Great weeknight soup with some leftover.
