This soup has become a family favorite of ours over the years. Whenever I decide I want to make a soup for the meal plan of the week – this one seems to often come up on the short list. It is a very good soup to make a homemade bread with! (Although aren’t all of them?) For the bread, I like making this very easy homemade one (that you can make in a pyrex bowl!) Lastly, sometimes I leave the soup as is and other times I add a small pasta, possibly orecchiette or orzo.
