Emily, easy is *always* good

Ann, that’s what I love about soup…a nearly instant meal from whatever you have around in your fridge/in the cupboards. Glad to inspire

Ok, you inspired me, I’ll admit. My first pot of soup for fall. Anything I could find in the fridge, plus basil & parsley from my garden. And of course, the things I always use — crushed red pepper, the remains of the tomatoes from my garden, a cheese rind I had in the freezer, orzo — MAJOR YUM. Thanks for the inspiration.

That IS easy. I love soup and it’s getting colder and colder over here so I just might be making this very soon!

Sharon, another soup lover! Yeah! Actually I like my bread untoasted for soup. I’m weird like that…but give me some of that toasted bread brushed with olive oil pretty much any other time, and I’m all over it

Fango, you’ve pinpointed a big reason why I love making soup

To add to the resounding echoes, thanks for the recipe. Look forward to trying it out now that we’re moving into cooler days and chilly nights. Soon they could be chili nights… bwa bwa bwa bwaaa. Ouch. I made a good potato stew the other night with some sausage, chard, cannelini, the kitchen sink – it’s hard to go wrong, ergo easy for neophytes like me to make something tasty. Keep up the good work.

I love the phrase *SOUP POT ROTATION*. I am gonna steal this and use it in my house. Soup is our favorite ..winter, summer all year.

If you thin slice yesterdays bread and put it under the broiler with just a bit of olive oil it will, 1) use up yesterday's bread
2) taste so good with your soup!
(You guys always eat so good!)

I am such a minestrone fan! I make borsch all summer (the hot vegetable kind that you can freeze and then taste summer in the dead of winter) and then make minestrone all winter. Lovely recipe! I always look forward to Wednesdays here, even if I get to them late.
