My hubby sent away for the bowls from Replacements.com

I hate to spend too much on bowls since I occasionally break one but I don’t want plastic, either. I thought he spent too much on them. Lol

I have blue bowl that is similar to that but I like the border on this one.

I don’t have patience to search the Net like he does.

And probably several other things too.

I just put some limas in to soak. I may make Savoy cabage/shredded pork/lima soup later.

I, too, love the dish. I've been looking for new soup bowls but haven't found any I like yet.

I guess I should get out the heavy black stoneware ones we have.
They have covers and are great to put in the oven to get the bowl warm, which keeps the soup hot during mealtime.

I occasionally break soup and salad bowls and don’t like to spend a lot of $ on them but I surely don’t want plastic bowls, either. My hubby sent away to Replacements.com for these and I thought he spent too much.

Enjoy that cabbage soup, Cher!

and I used cheap navy beans rather than expensive cannellini beans and I didn't spare the garlic. I found a Parmesan rind cooked with the beans did great things for the end result.

It was a cheap and hearty cold weather soup that I made even when I wasn't skint.

My grocery store carries organic cannellini beans $1.29/15 oz. can. Not too bad. I would think most any kind of beans would be delish. I will have to try your Parmesan rind idea.

after the soup is finished, as you are about to serve it, make a salad with a lot of bitter greens (escarole, arugula, etc) and then make a vinaigrette that is very heavy on the vinegar, mix the salad, put it into the piping hot soup. The soup will slightly cook the greens and the vinegar is delish in the soup.

Sounds interesting!

I made lots!

Guessing, and hoping for your sake, that you're far from where I am.

Ty for sharing!

in place of tomatoes: I like it more than the usual pasta e fagioli. I also use the borlotti beans I grow.

I do like the tomatoes though.

had no idea what it was!

Looks great!

Thank you elleng 🙂
