Quick and easy 🙂
I didn’t have the baby tomatoes so I used canned diced tomaotes
I also didn’t have zucchini so I put peas and carrots instead (need to cut my carrots smaller next time though, I had like these enormous chunks of carrots floating in my soup which wasn’t good)

I liked it but it had too much Rosemary, maybe half that much and ground rosemary too. I also added more salt.

Hi Maria,
No, you can omit the salt completely, if you’d like. I tend to use salt in recipes where I also use tomatoes, because it brings out the sweetness in the tomato. You can also omit the pasta – I like to use whole-wheat pasta in it because it has more protein, fiber and selenium than regular white pasta. I love Dr. Fuhrman – he is great! I hope you enjoy the soup – Katherine

Does half a tsp of salt really make any difference in a big pot of soup? I’m trying to go saltless due to high blood pressure and overweight. Have you tried making it with no salt and just seasonings and does it taste ok that way? I’m planning to try no-salt version of Spike seasoning.

Also, pasta isn’t healthy and adds extra calories.

Sounds like a good recipe otherwise, though.

I just found this web site. I want to follow Dr. Fuhrmann’s methods and this site comes close to it.

Just thought I’d share–jullienne is lovely, but for the mom of six with a houseful of hungry people, this recipe cooks up quickly with a good sharp chef’s knife, and I just diced all the veggies. Also added 2 cups of chopped cabbage and a dash of hot sauce. REALLY YUMMY!

Jane,

Sparkpeople has a free nutrition calculator here: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp
I just haven’t had time to calculate the nutrition for all of my recipes. Thanks, Katherine

Can anyone figure out the nutritional information on this or tell me an easy way to do it?

Hi Daniel,
I’m glad you like the recipe! Yes, I forgot about all of the julienne cutting – I have a Saladmaster machine, so it cuts up in a jiffy!

Let me start by saying that this recipe tastes fantastic! This is a great recipe for feeding a large family or friends on an occasion, but be warned make sure you have time and are reasonably good with a knife because julliening multiple things is a serious pain if you don’t have a good stock of kitchen tools.

4/5 Do it on a weekend.
