I liked this soup, but didn't love it. It definitely gets bonus points for being low fat and healthy, but it isn't something I really looked forward to having leftover. It is easy and nice to use up some veggies sitting in the fridge. I love Ellie Krieger, but prefer some of her other healthy recipes.

Definitely lived up to it's name - Terrific! Loved the veggie combinations and it was so easy and quick to make. Homemade soup without a lot of effort. Next time I might add more cannellini beans (just my preference) and increase the broth. Will definitely make this healthy soup again! Made for Fall PAC 2012.
