Very nice hearty healthy soup! I made this as directed with the green beans option. My only problem was that there didn't seem to be enough liquid, so I added about 2 more cups and it was fine when served right away, but the noodles sucked up the remaining liquid for leftovers. Great served with crusty french bread and butter! Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
