Kate, I took your wonderful basic recipe and tweaked it a bit to suit us. I added in a finely chopped celery stick with the onion and carrot etc. I have lots of fresh herbs in the garden, so I added some fresh thyme and a pinch of chilli flakes while simmering and I finished the soup with a big handful of chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. I'm thrilled to have three more generous servew to freeze for my work lunches. Thanks for posting.

What a lovely robust soup this was. We really enjoyed this tasty treat. Made exactly as written except that I couldn't find cannellini beans anywhere, so I subed with romano beans. The soup was hearty, thick and oh so satisfying. Thank you so much for sharing this winner. We have had a lot of snow this month and your soup was thoroughly enjoyed. :)
