One of my favorite dishes to enjoy during the cold months is a bowl of hot soup. Thankfully, Chicago offers so many delicious soup cafes and restaurants. And sometimes I enjoy making a large pot of soup at home! Enjoy!

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can white beans

  1. Rachel, I just had to tell you how much we loved this soup! I made a pot last night and it is SO easy and delicious. Rares made sure I saved the recipe in my “favorites” notebook. The flavor is perfect and the rosemary fragrance made me giddy while I was waiting for it to cook. I’m enjoying leftovers now and looking forward to making it again, soon!
