I've used this recipe for years and its fantastic. I use one 8oz can of chopped tomatoes in place of the sauce because I like the chunky texture. I am making this tonight for my Mother and Grandmother for an end of summer light supper with crusty bread and wine. The bread is essential because the broth is so delicious. A few times I've made this for the family and I enjoy as is - and after I remove mine from the pot, I add cooked linguine to the pot for a few minutes of simmering and serve it to the hungry teenage boys as a pasta dish. They love it that way. This recipe has also become a staple of our camping trips - its great in a cast iron pot over the fire and really hits the spot with a good beer on the beach.
