Melanie Shepard says
I’m wondering if you’ve tried making the Italian version of this recipe? Progresso discontinued their vegetable Italiano and it was my favorite 🙁
Madeline says
oooo I will look into it!!
Sarah says
Absolutely loved this soup! It is even better than the canned version (which should be obvious, all of your recipes are outstanding). I made a huge batch to bring for our lunches every day this week and it was the perfect cozy meal to get us through the first week of 2021! Will definitely be making this one often 🙂

Sandy says
Hello,
Is it tomato paste or tomato sauce? When I click on tomato paste it brings up tomato sauce.
Madeline says
Tomato paste. I will check on that link!
Meagan says
I have the tri-color rotini at the house and then maybe a “vegetable” rotini. Do you think that will be okay to add, or would you suggest not? Look forward to trying 🙂
Madeline says
I think either would work! The vegetable based one may get softer, but if you don’t mind that then thats okay!
Dawn says
This soup was so good and easy to make. I added a half teaspoon of dill and a tablespoon of Better Than Bullion seasoned vegetable base. Wowza! This is a keeper!

Hi, Madeline! I’m making this in the crockpot! When do you think I should add the noodles? So exited to try it!
Madeline says
Hi there! About the same time – probably the last 15 minutes – just keep an eye on them so they don’t get too soft. Enjoy!
Amanda says
Have never had the Progresso version, but this was delicious and came together so easily! I’ve been making your Lentil Potato Soup on the regular for a while now but glad I gave this recipe a shot!
