Love soup and this one appears to be a high 5, can hardly wait to make some, probably one day this week since we will have some cooler days. Thanks for the great post.

This sounds terrific. I have yet to meet a bean soup I didn't like. But white beans are a favorite, they are so unctuous and velvety to the palate. Great combination of flavors. Yum.

This recipe is excellent, especially after it sits for a couple of days! I omitted the onions.
