The house smelled wonderful this evening as this simmered on the stove. I did add some crumbled and browned ground beef that needed to be used and a handful of baby spinach leaves with the beans. I also used some fresh ground pepper. It was a tasty and filling soup. I served it with warmed sourdough bread and a spinach salad. Good comfort food.

Oh, Myrna, what a lovely tasting soup! I didn't change anything, but I used dried vegetable bouillion and water. This is so good tasting, and healthy with all the fiber in it. I did add salt and pepper which wasn't mentioned. This will be a keeper in my recipe book. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
