Notes: Serve in colorful flat bowls with the Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Make some garlic toast or warm some fresh Italian bread for dipping! WONDERFUL!!! This recipe will make enough soup for 8 - maybe more! AND it's better on the second day! So, don't forget to take some to a neighbor or friend in need of some nourishing love!
