We loved this soup. I did add a cooked pound of ground beef I had hanging out in the freezer and I think it made it better, but it would have been great without it. I love bean soups with tomatoes and is one of the better recipes I've tried.I was on the phone with my adult son while eating it (why do they always call when you're sitting down to dinner?) and I told him how delicious it was and how it was the best meal I've ever made, which wasn't much of an exaggeration. It really is that good.

Reminds me of a good minestrone; very hearty and rather tasty.

This was easy and delicious. I always have these ingredients on hand so it goes together quickly. It was hearty and flavorful - everyone in the family wants me to make it often.

My husband and I loved this soup. I used Italian Style crushed tomatoes and omitted the Italian seasoning.

I'd give 5 stars if I'd been able to follow the recipe exactly. But I had to use small macaroni, added a cup of water since it had to sit for a while, and used one can of navy and one can of canary beans as these were the only canned white beans I had on hand. GREAT soup - husband loved it. Just the two of us, so he added one pound of browned hamburger meat and another teaspoon of italian seasoning the next day - good stuff.

this soup was delicious, enjoyed by all. I did substitute organic spinach for the celery and added some kosher salt.

Great soup! Nice and thick, no one even noticed there was no meat in it. I substituted basil, garlic and oregano flavored diced tomatoes for the crushed tomatoes and added sliced cabbage.

Had to do a little substituting 14 oz. diced tomatoes and 14 oz. tomato sauce, which made it a bit rich. Will try again with the crushed tomatoes.

<p>Very simple; made with ingredients I usually have on hand;good on a cold night. Instead of the canned crushed tomatoes, I added some of my frozen diced tomatoes from our garden that I processed in the food processor and a little salt since none was added when I froze them. I added some sliced smoked sausage which was really good, too and made it a little heartier. With some warm crusty bread and fruit, it made a nice dinner.</p>

I tweaked the recipe just a little. I used oregano instead of Italian seasoning and I added a parmasan rind (I always keep some in the freezer instead of throwing them away). I put it in for the last 5 minutes of cooking and then fish it out. Great winter soup.
