    I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED AT HOW TASTY THIS SOUP WAS. I ONLY USED 1 CAN OF BEANS AND COULD HAVE ONLY USED 2 CUPS OF CHICKEN BROTH B/C I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE TOO MUCH. I WAS GENEROUS WITH THE CRUSHED RED PEPPER WHICH ADDED A LITTLE KICK. SIMPLY DELICIOUS AND WILL DEFINATELY MAKE THIS AGAIN.

    Really great after I made a few additions. I added chicken sausage in the beginning before adding the beans etc. Instead of the Parmesan while cooking, I added a piece of the Parmesan rind while it simmered. Through in a couple of thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Simmered for at least an hour then topped with grated Parmesan. Super easy and really delicious! (Also, added finely sliced basil to finish.

    I made this soup for me & my husband tonight, who isn't really a soup guy.. But it sounded really good to me, so I rolled the dice... : He LOVED it! I added some white onion when I sautéed the garlic and added some Italian seasoning, garlic powder and a touch of salt & pepper. Next time, I will wait to add the parm cheese until the end. It got a little gooey. Overall- delicious! Will make again soon.
