Wonderful, with adjustments. Add beef bullion cubes with water. 1 cube per cup. Substitute Boca with Italian sausage (sweet, mild, or hot).

This really was not that good. It was very bland and I was highly disappointed because everybody raved so much about it.

Wow this was gross. I think I put too much spinach in it. Either way it was not god.

I used chicken broth instead of water and regular sausage because I couldn't find the BOCA in my store. The soup was really good. And very easy. It does make a lot so unless you're planning on eating it for several days, you should cut the recipe in half.

Beware - this recipe will make buckets worth of soup so I strongly suggest halving unless you need to feed a small army.

Not bad. I had to "spice it up a bit", but I would definitely make again. I added the turkey italian sausage and used about half chicken broth to give it more flavor.

Okay... so I kinda cheated and had looked online for some other minestrone recipes, but I liked that this took less time and was easier to make. I took the time to chop up some extra veggies like celery and a green pepper. I also used turkey sausage instead of boca. :) All in all my hubby and I liked it... and after much encouragement my kids ate it and kinda liked it. I think they might be a little souped out... yum yum.

very good! I whipped it up in less than a 1/2 hr. I used beef tips, zuccini and pasta shells with tomatoes that I had just canned from the garden. Just wonderful!
