"I skipped the tomatoes & baguette portion of this recipe and just made the soup. It was heavy, but very yummy!

The recipe fails to mention that you need to pre-cook the noodles - I got to the part were you add the noodles and realized at that point they should have been cooked already - no biggie, just added to the cooking time. Also, I found I needed to add extra cheese to give it more of a 'cheese' flavor. My husband commented that the minced veggies gave it a different texture, but he still liked it. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow - I think this is one of those that tastes better on day 2!
