1. Vegeta is a brand of vegetable stock powder (see in post). It's my favourite stock powder to use in soup broths where you don't have a flavour boost from cooking a protein or something else.You can use another stock powder - use chicken or vegetable (but Vegeta gives the best flavour!).

It's sold in the herb & spice aisle of supermarkets here in Australia.

Read in post about Vegeta and MSG misconceptions!

2. Cornflour/cornstarch alternative -skip the flour, mix 3 tbsp cornflour with 3 tbsp of the milk in the recipe (cold). When pasta is almost finished cooking, pour mixture in slowly while stirring constantly - will only take couple of minutes to thicken soup.

3. Any vegetables - Use 7 to 8 cups of any chopped vegetables you want (free or frozen), including onion (don't skip onion!)

3.Nutrition per serving, assuming low fat milk is used. This is a big generous bowl!
