Hearty Italian Soup with Parmesan-Pepper Cornbread Biscotti

Delicious! Only change I made was to add lots more garlic. Goes great with the Parmesan Pepper Cornbread Biscotti.

Yum! this soup so good on a cold night. Just had a crusty italian bread instead of biscotti with it, keeping it all very simple.

My kids ate two bowls. If that doesn't pass the taste test, I don't know what does. making it again, this time with added diced chicken, lentils..and collard greens. Things I have left over in the fridge. I'm sure it will be yummy!

Love this soup! Didnt have time to make biscotti, so we had galic bread instead. Perfect!

Truly outstanding soup recipe! Flavorful, easy to make and interesting. I didn't make the biscotti because I was making this after work, which cut my total cook time down to 1 hour, 10 minutes. They say it take about 40 minutes hands on, but it didn't seem that long for me to put it together. I think it's a wonderful week night meal. Once I had everything simmering, there was just enough time to make a batch of fresh cornbread. Delicious!

Perfect soup for a cold/windy day!! Quick & easy to prepare....I added some mini shell macaroni & it tasted a lot like minestrone soup which is my favorite. Didn't try the biscotti, but it sounds really good. I agree with the previous reviewer about having a nutrition chart, what about it Southern Living???

I made a vegetarian (or vegan?) version of this. I was worried it wouldn't be very tasty b/c of the lack of meat but it's REALLY tasty! I changed a couple of things: 1. No meat 2. Substitute veg broth for the chicken broth 3. Add 2 c of sliced carrots 4. Add 1 can white beans (to make up for the lack of meat) 5. Cut the veg broth down to 32 oz 6. Puree half the tomatoes with 1 can of the beans & add back to the soup for extra creaminess 7. Substituted swiss chard from my garden for the spinach I did not have the ingredients to try the bread but it looks great! I poured it into freezer bags and froze some as it made a ton. Will have to see how it holds up in freezer as I plan to use it for those last minute dinner nights when I can't face the dishes!

Perfect recipe as is.

I made this soup tonight. So easy and turned out so very tasty.I didn't get to the biscotti yet but I hope to next time. I just used regular cornbread. Thanks for always having great recipes Southern Living.

I just finished making this soup, it is very delicious. I didn't change a thing and did not double the recipe, a single batch made alot of soup, it made a full dutch oven size pot. It is a keeper! Thank you Southern Living!

This soup was easy to make and so fresh tasting and delicious. I didn't make the biscotti, but am sure it too is delicious. I don't think I've ever made a recipe from Southern Living I didn't like. I only wish they would list the nutrition chart for their recipes.
