This soup smells great while cooking and is oh so tasty. I only made one change. I used ground venison for the ground beef, thanks to hubby's hunting skill. The game meat went well with the Italian sausage. I will make it again for a great winter warm-up meal. Thanks, NurseDi for sharing this delight!!

    My husband liked this soup .. I do not like ground beef so I didn't try it .. he however asked me to make it again .. It is extremely thick, and I got 10 servings out of it .. I also rinsed the beef (cooked by itself) to get rid of most of the fat .. thanks!

    This is an excellent recipe and I am so glad that I stumbled upon this little gem! Thanks so much. This makes excellent leftovers!! I traded out the garbanzo for great northerns... and changed out the water for vegetable stock. Just fabulous!! Thanks

    This was good. I'd make it again. I served it with a good rustic bread, rather than the rice. It's a keeper.
