Good and hearty. Took waaaayyy longer than 35 minutes. I think it was about 1 1/2 hours. Great with some bread.

We loved this soup. It is very filling and makes tons. Even my picky 15 year old son loved it and ate 5 bowls. I left out the basil and had to use corn in place of the peas. I also used Aylmer Accents for the tomatoes. This is so healthy and full of flavour. Thanks for the recipe.

This was a very tasty and hearty soup. All we needed was a bit of bread for dipping and it was a complete meal for us tonight. I used low fat cooking spray instead of the butter and I skipped the cheese to make this a very low fat meal. I used one can of borlotti beans and one can of cannellini beans (white kidney by another name) and that worked really well with all the other veggies. Made for Zaar Star Tag.

Excellent soup! It has great flavour. I did only use 1 can of each kind of bean and didn't have excess broth. I will add more broth to the leftovers. I used yellow beans from my garden in place of the French style green beans. I didn't have Romano cheese on hand but grated Parm. did the trick and tasted really nice. I will be making this one often. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
