This was so yummy! Makes a lot of soup, so I think we will be having it again tomorrow which is fine by me. I used 1 Tbsp canola oil in place of the butter and vegetarian chicken stock (McKays chicken seasoning mixed with water) to cut out a lot of saturated fat and remove the cholesterol. I also only used the equivelent of 1 can of each of the beans, because I wanted it to be more soupy. This turned out so delicious and very healthy! Thanks Marlitt!

My husband enjoyed this and didn't comment once about it not having meat! He did say that the veggies were a bit more firm than he prefers so maybe next time I'll let it simmer in the crockpot. I used two fresh heirloom tomatoes instead of the canned tomatoes. I skipped the green beans and peas. Used two cans of Great Northern Beans (and no other varieties, tho I was tempted to throw in one can of black beans). Three cans of chicken broth (so approx 5 1/4 cups), a couple handfuls of ditalini pasta. No cheese. I believe those are the only changes due to what was on hand, or not. Many thanks--came across this recipe in an effort to use a quantity of basil without making pesto.

This was a very tasty and hearty soup. All we needed was a bit of bread for dipping and it was a complete meal for us tonight. I used low fat cooking spray instead of the butter and I skipped the cheese to make this a very low fat meal. I used one can of borlotti beans and one can of cannellini beans (white kidney by another name) and that worked really well with all the other veggies. Made for Zaar Star Tag.

Delicious soup, a meal in a bowl! I used a combination of butter and olive oil instead of all butter, a can of diced tomatoes, fresh yellow beans from my garden, frozen peas, and rinsed the Romano and kidney beans before adding, and small shell pasta. I didn't have Romano cheese so I sprinkled top of each serving with additional fresh chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese. Romano cheese is on my shopping list because I will definitely be making this soup again.

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p>
