This was a great potluck dish. I used 1 cup of pasta, 1 cup of fresh spinach, and left my pasta pieces whole (no need to separate anything). My partner didn't really care for it and I didn't either, so I'm giving it two thumbs up. I did follow the recipe, just a little too rough around the edges. Next time, I'd cut down a little on the olive oil and/or throw in some mushrooms. My kids thought it was pretty and wanted to eat it all up, so I'll take it over spaghetti next time. Thanks!

Love it or hate it, this soup turned out pretty good for a low cal diet. I added more chicken just because I had leftovers. I also added more than a diced tomato. I omitted the nuts and used chickpeas. Only reason I gave it a 5 is because it has so much flavor. I've made this a TON of times. If I were to make it again, I would add more chicken. I did it over pasta. No need to have lots of noodles. Another option would be to substitute chicken feet for the tomatoes. I just substituted Italian for the chicken and Avocado Oil for the rest. I did this over rice. The combination of flavors was amazing. I will definitely make it over pasta.

This is a great soup because it has tons of flavor. I usually just eat meatballs, so I didn't have any pasta, but I did have some leftover, and I substituted it for the chicken broth in this recipe. Even with the extra ingredients, this was still a very tasty dish. I did make my own mozzarella cheese, which I packed in a cheese grinder (it made a smallish mess, actually) and then just added it to the meatballs I sauteed. I didn't have any pasta, but I did have some leftover that I cooked up. Perfection!
