"I've made it twice. The first time the carrots did not cook long enought to tender as stated 2mins in the recipe. So the second time, I added a bit of chicken stock and simmered for about 10 mins so that the carrots had a chance to soften. I also added celery with the stock. Then I became a bit more creative by adding a 1/2 pound of cooked chopped beef. I seasoned the meat and made sure the beef was fully cooked when I added it to the soup along with the pasta. I also used the 32oz of chicken stock. A bit more than recommended and still it came out great!
