This soups really has become a family favorite of ours over the years. Whenever I decide I want to make a soup for the meal plan and I just need to choose which one, this one seems to often come up on the short list. It is a very good one to make a homemade bread with! Also sometimes I leave it as is and other times I add a small pasta, possible orecchiette or another. For the bread sometimes I like making this very easy homemade one (that you can make in a pyrex bowl!)
