Basic Italian Bean Soup
7
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.

Delicious and quick healthy meal.. Very simple and would cost so much more if you purchased it and it took a total of 30 minutes to make.
