This soup brings back many fond memories of my Gram's simple, yet comforting recipes..sometimes she would brown off some Italian sausage and add to this soup, to add more heartiness...either way, I loved it..she usually made a huge pot of this, and never was there any left...we would keep heating it till it was gone... My version of her recipe was cut to 1/4 of what she used to make...recipe can easily be doubled. Enjoy!
