I made a few slight alterations to use up what we hand on hand. I used two ham bones that my mother in law sent home from Thanksgiving to make the broth. I also used crushed tomatoes instead of regular canned tomatoes cut up and dried parsley instead of fresh. I didn't have any, but my family really enjoyed it. Served with a loaf of fresh bread. A very comforting meal on a cold day.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
