YUM!
I made the pasta separate, but followed the recipe exactly otherwise.
Delicious!
Great recipe but I just could not bring my self to use canned green beans – they have way too much sodium. So I used frozen green beans, would have used fresh but used what I had. Otherwise – this soup was fantastic. I also added some mild ground Italian sausage that I cooked first. Yum!!! And then of course crusty French bread. Thanks for sharing.
I love soups in the winter but making a large pot, half will get wasted (I’m the only one in the house that likes soup).
Will this freeze well?
My family absolutely loved this. Added extra carrots, potatoes, celery, and ground pepper. Highly recommend!
Great recipe. We love this. 2nd time I’ve made it. I do add a red pepper to it.There are just the 2 of us and the last time i gave over half of it to our daughter and her husband an 2 kids, and they loved it.
