    Amazingly good and nearly as simple as opening a can. I saute the rosemary with the onion (shallots in my case as David demo'd on the show which may help with favor base. I also pureed some of the beans and added the parma/reggiano cheese and dizzle of olive oil in each bowl. Key to these recipes is to use excelent olive oil in the quanities called for which seems like a lot for us non Italians.

    I found the soup, as prepared using the recipe only, to be quite bland. I added salt and pepper, more rosemary, plus some chopped chili, 3 seeded, chopped tomatoes and 3 chopped cloves of garlic. That did the trick. Next time, I'd probably also use vegetable stock instead of water.

    I was blown away by how delicious and EASY this soup was. I have to admit that I did saute a little garlic with my onion, but other than that I "followed" the recipe (I didn't measure anything :. Would definitely recommend to others and will make again and again.
