Delicious and warming soup, perfect for our first day of snow. I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh ones and frozen fresh basil. I followed the recipe in all other respects except that I waited until the beans were tender to add the salt - I also cut back the salt by 1 teaspoon. We don't seem to use as much salt as many people - and added the basil at the end. I will certainly make this wonderful soup again and again. Thank you for this recipe, suzyq.
