Fabulous Soup!! I made your recipe exactly as is. Wouldn't change a thing. We ate the whole pot of soup in one day. My husband asked me why I didn't make a larger batch. I told him next time, I will double it. Thanks much for the new "keeper" recipe. Loved it.

First time making this soup. Forgot to top with cheese. Didn't notice though. Had my 14 yr. old son add in the seasonings...think he may have added alittle too much red pepper flakes cause it was HOT! We all loved it though. Will definately be making this again and again. Smiles LOVE IT!

This soup was a huge hit in our house! It is a very hearty soup bursting with flavor. The soup is also very appealing to the eye with the red, orange, white and green colors from the vegetables and beans. This soup is hearty enough to be a stew/chili as it is not loaded with broth. I doubled the recipe using hot Italian sausage and ground beef (I only had hot Italian sausage which was too much heat for the entire family). I used a couple of extra carrots and stalks of celery to beef up the vegetables. I was unable to locate cannellini beans at my grocery store so I substituted navy beans which are also white. I can't say enough about how great this soup tasted. Thank-you so much for sharing your recipe!

WOW WEEEEE!! SO GOOD! Thank you so much PanNan, we loved this! I was able to make it while feeding my 11 month old daughter. It's the first cold day in November here in Houston and I thought it would be nice to have soup...boy was I right!! Used turkey sausage and it was perfect! A million thanks, I'd give this one 10 stars if I could!!!
