I didn't like this soup at all. It was bland and the vegetables were mushy.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of minestrone soup, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I would definitely make it again.

The soup was good, but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I added some extra water and it was perfect.

This minestrone macaroni soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I added some extra sausage and kale, which made it even more hearty and delicious.
