I didn’t have time to use the slow cooker, so I made this stovetop. Followed the recipe exactly, except for cooking times. I used tiny shells for the pasta. I let the majority of liquid cook out of the tomato vegetable mix. It turned out great! Very flavorful & was very easy to make!

After reading the other review about the recipe being “watery” I added tomato paste. I thought the recipe was very flavorful. I used chicken broth in lieu of wine. I will definitely make this again.

Made this yesterday, followed the recipe to the tee. I found it bland, and watery. Needs more spices, and a thicker base, unless you like soup. I was very disappointed and will not make again.
