I made this for a Super Saturday lunch, it was amazing!!!! By far my favorite! It has a hearty and warm rich broth,the cannellini beans are creamy. With all the meat even the boys don't complain about all the vegetables. Serve with warm crusty bread, Mmmmmm Perfect! I think I'll make some tonight. Any left overs can be frozen.
