This soup is very good.  I found it very like the minestrone that I used to eat as a kid.  Definitely the ultimate in comfort food.  I find that I enjoy really thick soups over brothy ones.  This soup definitely fits the bill.  Let me know how you like it and if you have any fabulous adjustments to it (nobody ever REALLY follows the recipe to the letter do they??;)

NOTES : When I made this recipe I used 1 1/2 cubes of McCormick vegetarian chicken flavour bouillion with 3 cups water.  I used small vegetable shells for the pasta.  For the veggies I used cauliflower, brocolli and turnip because those were the frozen veggies that needed to be used up to avoid freezer burn.  I used one can of white kidney beans and one can of navy beans because that is what I had on hand.  I think next time I will use red kidney beans just to provide a colour contrast.  My husband also added some Louisiana Hot Sauce behind my back which I must admit added a nice touch.

This soup was really, really good.  This isn't one of those:  alright but I wouldn't make it every week soups, this ones a keeper.
