A well-stocked pantry is a good starting point for making a hearty homemade soup like this one. Just add some fresh vegetables, bread and cheese and you've got dinner (and tomorrow's lunch).

This soup is a delicious, inexpensive & healthy meal. I exchanged one can of cannellini beans for black beans, added a little italian seasoning & toasted homemade bread.
Yum!





Good. I felt like I needed a bit more thickness--maybe another can of beans? Has anyone tried that?





My kids just love this recipe, especially putting fontina in their soup. Got my mom hooked on it too. A few times I've run into canned beans that were kind of mushy. It's much better if the beans hold up a little bit. I like that it's a nice vegetarian meal, very easy to make, chance to use my favorite olive oil.





The garlic bread made the soup. Once you ran out of bread, the soup was bland, and the consistency... well, let's just say my husband compared it to the food that has already gone through the food processor. Overall, edible, but not something we will make again.
