    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       01/14/2020   This recipe was great! It definitely needs the pesto on top though, because it was a bit bland otherwise, so don't skimp out  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       03/18/2013   Loved this soup! I substituted 1 tsp dried oregano for the fresh sprigs. I also omitted the bread. We topped off the soup with pesto and Parmesan. I served toasted, crusty bread on the side. It was delicious!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/02/2012   This is a delicious stew and even better the next day. I followed another reviewer's advice and added a Parmesan cheese rind and used rosemary because I have lots of it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/18/2012   Quick. Easy. Delicious. I'm making it again this weekend for another get-together, since it was loved by everyone at two prior gatherings (even a bean-hater!). A definite keeper, and clearly a new go-to recipe for me this fall-winter. Delicious as followed, but I'll probably also try rosemary instead of oregano, and I have to remember to throw in my Parm cheese rinds! Enjoy!
