I make this zippy, satisfying soup all the time, and it’s my dad’s favorite. The recipe makes a lot, and I have found that it freezes well and tastes just as great reheated. —Linda Reis Salem, Oregon

My family loved this recipe. I used cannellini beans instead of garbanzos and it was great. I like a little more broth so I added a medium can of tomato sauce and an extra can of beef broth. It came out great! I will make this again soon.

I found this recipe in a friend's TOH magazine. This is the recipe that made me subscribe to TOH. Everyone loves & asks for me to make it for every gathering. I add 1/4 to 1/2 lb of hot sausage when I want a little kick. I am never disappointed in this soup.

I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this soup, mostly because I'm not a fan of garbanzo beans. Both my husband and I thought it tasted like lasagna in soup form with the Italian sausage, the tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. I would recommend this recipe, and make it again, but perhaps the next time, I would substitute kidney beans for the garbanzos.

This is a fabulous recipe. I have made it many times and I always get the same response from my family, "why don't you make this more often!" I often times don't have all the ingredients, but use what I have. As long as you have the sausage it turns out each time.
