Hearty winter soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Though the soup can be done in 30 minutes, I simmered it a bit longer the second time I made the recipe and feel it added a... nice depth of flavor. I followed the recipe exactly the first time, except used kale, and it was a great soup. However, the second time I made it, I preessed my garlic cloves, grated the potato and carrot (which improved the creaminess, I think), and added 1 cup of white wine and some grated parm cheese while the soup simmered. Many of the soups I enjoy have a wine addition, and I think this soup tastes better with the wine added too. I will make this soup again, and as one reviewer said, this soup gives one the chance to experiment according to one's taste. Yummm.Read more

Excellent hearty soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this on a cold night - fabulous! I substituted kale for the broccoli rabe, used very lean pork sausage and fat free... chicken broth; so delicious! It's a meal in itself. Also, for those on weight watchers, for 6 servings it is 7 points, and they are huge servings!Read more

Family favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loves this soup. We make it with hot turkey sausage and put the whole thing in the crock pot and cook all day. The... flavors meld and the beans soften and thicken the soup. We like to make it one day and eat it the NEXT. Thick and hearty. We call it Rachel's soup. THANKS FOR A GREAT RECIPE!!Read more

Seriously Good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe. Took a decent amount of time chopping, but turned out fantastic. I used Italian turkey sausage and substituted... spinach for the greens. Very flavorful and hearty on a dreary winter day!Read more

Easy, quick and healthy meal!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup was easy and quick to make and super tasty! I added soup pasta (ditalini). That's the great thing about this... soup! You can add to it to make it how you like it and it still turns out wonderful! Great winter meal with a nice baguette! Perfection!Read more
