Very delicious and quick soup recipe. I used home-cooked white beans (not canned), and for the vegetable broth, I substituted "better than buillion chicken broth".
I'm a big fan of the smooth creamy texture of white beans. This soup was nicely flavored, and I just could not stop eating it (with salty saltines). A grind of black pepper added a good depth of flavor.
Note that the potatoes took about 20 minutes longer to cook for us. I attribute that mostly to my altitude, where liquids boil at much lower temperature. Even still, this was fast and delicious.

This is one of the recipes that my mom used to make out of this cookbook, and it's just as good as I remember it being! I use canned chicken stock and canned Great Northern beans, and it is delicious. The bell peppers and sherry perk up the beans and potatoes, and the ground fennel adds a nice extra dimension. This recipe comes together quickly and is even better the next day for lunch!
