In short, this creamy bean soup is comforting and rich. Plus, it’s very inexpensive to make so you can fit it into almost any tight budget even though it tastes like a million bucks. And unlike other comfort foods, it’s actually super good for you. It’s vegetarian for one thing. And for another the only fat in the soup comes from good for you olive oil and a tiny bit from some Parmesan cheese. There’s no heavy cream. So you don’t have to feel the tiniest bit guilty about dipping in some rustic bread and sopping up all the soupy goodness. Because using a bread for a spoon is fantastic.

Even more awesome? This hearty soup comes together so easily. Most Tuscan inspired dishes use very few ingredients and are easy to put together. This dish is no exception.

Thank goodness because Goose has been quite demanding of attention lately. Fortunately, her newest thing is adorable instead of exasperating. Her new favorite thing is saying, “Tiss Mama!” and lifting up her feet for me to kiss her stinky toes. I lean in to give them kisses and then make a face and say, “EW! Stinky!”

She thinks this is hysterical. I hope she’s always this easily amused.

Eating soup with crusty rustic bread is definitely a win

Thank goodness this is quick to make so I could get back to giving Goose and her stinky toes kisses and making her laugh hysterically. And really is there anything better than making your little one belly laugh? I can’t think of anything.
