Just like Maggiano's
A friend and I ran across this soup on the Vegas strip and I went looking for the recipe. After adding 6oz cooked italian sausage it turned out I had the same taste with less calories.This has become a favorite soup at our house.

Tuscan White Bean Soup
VERY TASTY! Broth takes on a wonderful flavor. This soup is filling. I put in three slices of bacon and would make it this way again!

Easy, fast and Oh So Delicious!
If onions came in a can you could almost call this the Best soup made from cans of vegies. Ok so thats a bit simple. So easy I made it in the short time it required. The only thing I did different was I used Hunts Fire Roasted diced tomatoes, I thought the fire roasted would add a bit more favor. Its amazing! I walked a cup across the street to my friend and within minutes she called me. She said I could make this for her again anyday! I'll give her the recipe so she returns the favor I did her. :) Give it a try! You will make it again and again, in fact I am bringing the recipe camping this summer, for a cool nite or even late breakfast...it always rains when we camp! LOL~
