Basic Italian Bean Soup

Dawn Wensdofer Brower
"Simple and basic Italian bean soup. Great for a quick fix during the week. My Italian mother-in-law rattled this one out to me over the phone years ago. So glad I wrote it down quick! She doesn't remember telling me. The kids love it for a simple and quick dinner."

My husband liked it, so all was not lost, but this "soup", which is more like a tomato-based bean stew (and a plain one at that) called for entirely too much onion, and was just boring to me.

Great soup for a quick meal. I added grated Parmesan and Romano cheese and it was a really good complement to the tomato flavor.
