I made this recipe last night. My family really liked it. I added a can of diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Will make again

I guess this tastes exactly like what it is.... Watered down spaghetti and meatballs. I was so disappointed in the recipe as written. I had to add garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I ended up adding 3 beef bouillon cubes and a lot of Parmesan and Romano cheese to get this to be fairly edible. Will not make it again.

I just used this recipe for the first time today. I looked for curved spaghetti at Walmart but couldn't find it so broke traditional spaghetti into smaller pieces. I've been sampling it; another time I might make a few changes, but for now it tastes great to me.

I plan on making this tonight -I will fry garlic and spinach (fresh) and diced, peeled tomatoes. Add tomato sauce, meatballs and a couple of tablespoons of grated Romano cheese. Should be good.

Plan on making this for dinner tonight. Sounds wonderful. I do wholeheartedly agree with LynneMck, about people who add a response, without even trying the recipe first.

This is one great soup. I used regular spaghette broke into small pieces and I added a can of diced tomatoes with garlic and herbs. It was great and so easy and fast. Will use again.

There are different versions of this recipe, using leftover spaghetti with homemade sauce and meatballs, adding additional vegetables to it, too. If I didn't have sauce, I used tomato soup - and it's very good! :) Wonder if that is okay with the lady who criticized another review from someone who hasn't tried Pillsbury's version.

To linnie21 and all others who write a review without even trying the recipe - who on earth would care what you thought by just reading the recipe? We want to know from people who actually made the recipe and ate it!!!

Actually I have not tried it but I will; I intend to drain the spaghetti however, to get rid of excess starch in the water. Then I'll just add water. Good idea though, thanks!Good suggestions from the other reviewers, too!

I was a little skeptical of this recipe at first, but my four year old loves all things soup, so I decided to give it a try. It was really very good! I will say that as I do when I make spaghetti with jarred sauce, I doctored the soup a bit. With the meatballs and pasta, I threw in 1/4 cup each diced onion, celery and bell pepper, and 1/2 a cup each of chopped zucchini and carrot. I also added a can of petite diced tomatoes. It was quite nice, and the kids all asked for seconds and thirds. Even my picky eight year old wanted more. I'll definitely be making this again. :)
