"A little bit of change to a recipe from Bon Appetit. I also liked it made into a little more of a chili - style w/a can of diced tomatoes & chiles. Regardless, I think I'll try it with a bit of meat added in next time, too. Maybe ham if I leave it a true bean soup, or chicken/turkey for a chili-style soup."

this is a pretty good soup. I had to change a couple of things just because I didn't have them on hand. I used potatoes in place of the turnips and basil and parsley in place of the herbs. i had to use and extra tsp of chicken base close to the end because it was lacking a little in flavor.
