I loved this soup. It came together quickly, and was simple with canned and frozen veggies. I loved this Italian flavor to it! Would definitly make it again!

LovedIt!!!!!!!!! The family loves it too!!! It turned out great! I added about 3/4 of a cup of macaroni instead of 1/2 so I had to add an extra can of chicken broth and petite diced tomato! It is great and sooooooo EASY!!

made this and it is definitely something I would make again. So easy and quick to make. I added extra italian dressing because I like it. I don't know why ppl are saying it has no flavor...mine surely did!

Some of us on this site have health problems ie High blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. When you take all of the bad stuff out of a recipe, YOU NEED FLAVOR! Thank you Kraft for these recipes that give us back some flavor. If anyone doesn't like it, let them make the real stuff, and take all day to do so!

This recipe exemplifies one of Kraft's biggest problems - the cooks who write these recipes seem to think salad dressing is a seasoning. This tasted like vegetables and beans in chicken broth, not like minestrone. I would never make this again.

This was quick and easy to make. Made it on a cold wet day, it hit the spot. My whole family enjoyed it.

Used this receipe to make a soup for a friend, and has to make two receipes as my family ate the first batch I made. Very good and, and, oh so easy. Will be making it again very soon.

I prepared this for a family and friends get together, and they ate it up so fast. None left. Very good comfort food too!
