Awesome soup with a wonderful rustic flavor. I used olive oil non stick spray to brown the onions and did not see the tomatoes. Used a blend of parmesan, fontina, asiago and romano cheese to top the soup with a little more black pepper. I needed just a bit more flavor so I did add a little italian seasoning. The cheese melts nicely, onions are sweet, and the fresh tomatoes are perfect. I have a cold and this is so much better than chicken soup! Thank you sweetomato for posting your soup recipe. -
Excellent Soup! I left out the oil, used fat free sodium free chicken broth, doubled quantities of all ingredients, and cooked this in a 5 quart crockpot on High for about 4 hours adding 2 tbsp of Mrs. Dash Italian Blend. During the last hour of cooking, I added 1 pound of browned ground turkey. I garnished my serving with a bit of dried parsley and a few seasoned croutons. For my second helping (yeh, couldn't resist.....), I topped off my bowl with Shredded Parmesan Cheese. SUPER! This soup has a very mild smooth flavor and the tomatoes do not overpower the beans. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for posting. -
Made for Spring PAC 2008. This was really good soup. I had my wisdom teeth out so I have been eating a lot of soup. This was easy to make and very good. I followed the recipe as written other then I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of a tomato.

I live in the desert with my husband where we enjoy traveling, camping, amateur astronomy, and listening to short-wave broadcasts on our vintage radios.
We like to eat wholesome, nutritious foods free of pesticides and preservatives; therefore, we try to purchase only organic foods. I love to cook and am discovering new ways to prepare fish and vegetables. My ancestors came from Scotland, England, and Germany and I am very much interested in learning about past and current culture and food preparations there as well. Lately, I have been developing a taste for more Indian and Asian cuisines and have enjoyed experimenting in my kitchen!
I love to collect cookbooks from a variety of cuisines and have one that catered to the rationing needs of WWII. I like old movies, enjoy shopping for antiques, and love many things vintage.
FAVORITE FOODS: I enjoy cooking comfort foods, pot roast and brisket, curries, and love a roast chicken. We like to go out for Asian, Italian, Indian, and Seafood. My cookbooks are a compilation of a few of my own recipes as well as those of Zaar members' whose recipes I've tried and loved or are on my "can't wait to try" list.

MY RATING SYSTEM: If the dish is outstanding, I will rate it a 5. If I really like it and hope to make it again, I will rate it a 4. If the dish was just "ok" and I might make it again w/ adjustments, I'll rate it a 3. I will give it a 2 if it was fair and I probably won't make it again. I will give a recipe a 1 if I just didn't like it or it didn't work out. I will try to give a fair explanation of why I give a low rating. Please don't be offended as my low ratings will not be personal, but rather a true reflection of my experience w/ the recipe. Not everyone likes the same things and our tastes can be different, so please bear that in mind as well.
