"Love, love, love this recipe! It's done in less than 20 minutes and is so flavorful and creamy. Perfect with a salad and garlic bread or a grilled cheese! I have made my own alterations/additions to this recipe. Here's a tip on the sage: sometimes I'll use dried sage instead of the fresh sage leaf and in that case I start with about a teaspoon and add more to taste if need be. Also, I use my immersion blender and puree the soup right in the pot rather than using a regular blender...Giada just uses a regular blender, either way works fine! Enjoy!"

Is there a way to make this the day before? Either all the way or.... Can I cook it to the point just before adding the cream, salt & pepper, refrigerate overnight, then warm it up and add those 3 items? Thanks

This soup is crazy good and criminally easy to make. I made it last night, doubled the recipe and there still wasn't a drop left. My daughter's boyfriend ate 5 bowls of it! Even my picky eater son ate three bowls. He asked if I could make him some more for breakfast! I mashed about half of the beans and left the rest whole. This is now one of our staples. I'll keep canneloni beans and chicken stock in my pantry from now on!!

My husband said this was the best soup he ever had! I followed the recipe for the most part but replaced the two sage leaves with 1/2 teaspoon of rubbed sage. It was great!

I have seen this Giada recipe around for awhile and wanted to try it. To me it was good but not wonderful. It's a good soup if your cutting meat out of your diet, but that isn't a concern for me.

1/10/09 - This was delicious! I did change the recipe slightly because of what I had on hand. Instead of shallots, I used yellow onion. I used about 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning instead of the sage, and I did not puree the soup, as I like the texture of beans, but I mashed some up to thicken the soup a little. Bread is a must with this recipe to soak everything up. Delicious! Thank you!! 11/13/09 - Made this again, the same way as before, but this time I added a little crushed red pepper flakes to it. It was a nice touch!

5 stars for Giada. Very quick & easy and everyone raved about it. Because my boys are such meat eaters I added chopped ham in the bottom of each bowl, but bacon would be good too I think. Will be making this over & over as the weather gets colder.
