This was the perfect soup tonight to battle the cold and the wind. My family fell in love with the soup. I too went with the crushed tomatoes in place of the tomato juice and instead of red beans, I went with cannellini beans. I topped it off by having some warm, crusty bread and Parmigiano cheese to top off the soup at the table. Delicious!

After reading the reviews, I added a 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes in place of the tomato juice. Delicious.

Used bacon instead of prosciutto, fresh herbs instead of dried, threw in some garbanzo beans, added some tomato sauce in addition to the juice, and used whole wheat rotini noodles. I wanted the broth a little thicker so I cooked the noodles in the same pot. This is a really nice basic recipe, endlessly customizable for what you have on hand.

This soup was good. I followed other reviewers suggestions by chopping the carrot instead of shredding and by adding a large can of diced tomatoes instead of tomato juice. I wasn't really fond of the meat used in the recipe, so next time I'll likely use italian sausage. I froze the leftovers in individual size portions to use for quick lunches. They reheated very well.

I love this soup. Its so nutritous and a great comfort food. I substituted ground turkey meat for prosciutto. It's probablly not as tasty but definitely still delicous, yet a little healthier.
