  This soup was really quick and easy to make and was very yummy. I substituted the spaghetti with very small pasta especially for soups which was easier than breaking up the spaghetti.

  Very nice, easy to make soup - cheap too! I only used 50g of spaghetti and found this plenty. I'll make this again.

  This recipe was great. I ate it as was for lunch and later on when my family came to visit we had it for dinner. I added some warm sliced up low fat italian sausages to each bowl and served it with bread. My brother in law went home raving about it and my nieces loved it too. ( One chose the vegtarian and one chose the meat option) Lovely recipe :-)

  Excellent and tasty recipe for the culinary inept - my adult daughter, who regards pickled onion monster munch as a gourmet meal made this and devoured it with relish!

  I used frozen roasted Mediterranean veg instead of regular mixed veg and the result was very tasty!

  Very tasty and laughingly easy to make! Next time I think I'll put a little more pasta in it.

  Before I stirred in the pesto I thought it was going to be a complete disaster as I wasnt too keen on the taste at that point, but as soon as I added it everything fell into place. I think however that I put too much pasta I used vermicelli instead of spaggheti so it wasnt very soupy but it was still very tasty. so my conclusion is easy peasy to make and very filling and with more pasta it becomes a kind of pasta dish instead of a soup.

  Just made this for myself and 3yr old daughter and loved it - extremely cheap, warming and low fat. More than that my daughters bowl was emptied - will definately be making again!

  I didn't use frozen vegetables, I used carrot, pepper and onion that I needed to use up. I also only used two table spoons of pesto I think four would have been a bit much. I used wholewheat spirals as well and used less pasta to make it less calorific.
