Tuscan Chicken Soup

I know I am old and not with it, but what is with this N/A?

I added carrots and zucchini, also a tsp of sugar to cut acidity. My hubby won't eat this without a splash of balsamic vinegar, it does add that missing something.  For a heartier soup double everything but the broth.  This cooks quickly on stove top if you are out of time.

I followed the advice of others and basically doubled the entire recipe. I used chicken thighs and breasts. Doubled the tomato paste, onion, garlic, and beans. The beans do a nice job of thickening the broth. I am sure I will make this again but maybe with a bit less onion. 

Well, call this a reality "using the ingredients I had on hand" story... I didn't have tomato paste in the cupboard, so closest things I did have were ketchup (used about 3 tb) and a fresh tomato (diced and threw in, about half a large one). 

Then I opened up what I thought was a can of white beans (wow, I do have that ingredient!) but it was actually a can of hominy! Oh well, this might work too, so I tossed that in. And a few small red potatoes cut up. It's cooking now, so we'll see how it turns out. I'm usually a stickler for following the recipe, but on this one I either got lazy, or more relaxed. Or both? Going to guess four stars.

A good winter soup. I too, doubled the broth, tomato paste, rosemary, salt and pepper. If I were to make it again I would also double the beans. I had chicken breasts on hand which was just fine. I believe the suggestion to add red pepper flakes would also be good as it was a tad bland.

Simple and easy recipe.

Roast your own red peppers and it is so much better.

Loved it! I used a 32oz box of organic free range low sodium chicken broth from Trader Joe's. I also doubled the salt, onion, tomato paste, beans, and used a fresh red bell pepper instead of roasted. Used 1.5 lbs of chicken thighs and NO rosemary (don't like the flavor). Kids ate it too! This amount fed a family of 5 with no leftovers.

Sorry...we did not like this soup at all.

Made this last night -- hubby and I both loved it. I doubled the amount of broth and cut the fresh Rosemary to 1/4 teaspoon -- just a pinch. I don't know these would be flavors that would appeal to younger kids -- but we LOVED it!

Excellent! I added a couple dashes of red pepper flakes at the end to turn up the heat. But overall the fresh rosemary added alot to the dish. Will make added

Very bland.

Good soup, but as other reviewers stated double the liquid. I did not use a slow cooker; sautéed onions, rosemary & browned the chicken then put everything together except spinach; put the spinach in last 10 minutes of simmer.

This was amazing. Having read the review and agreeing with the amount of liquid not being adequate, I too doubled the broth, tomato paste and rosemary. My picky teenager ate three bowls of this and although I was hoping for leftovers, none remained at the end of this meal. I will definitely make it again and again!

This soup was very tasty. I used chicken breast instead of thighs. I also used 32 oz of broth, 14 oz was not enough. Since I added more broth I doubled the tomato paste and rosemary. I made it stove top instead of slow cooker. It had a nice subtle flavor of rosemary and the spinach was awesome. Very tasty, easy and healthy. I will definitely be making this soup again.
