Spent a lot of my late teens/early 20's eating that soup & it was so simple & delicious. tomato based, vegetarian, with green beans, corn, carrots, potatoes, maybe some variety of beans? i know, just make a minestrone but it's not the same thing!

i would doctor it up in my bowl with buckets of grated table "parmesan" & red pepper flakes.

appreciate any advice you can give me. thank you!!
