Italian Chicken Soup (With Kidney Beans) image

Great way to warm up the tummy on a cold winter's night. Do not let the long list of ingredients scare you off - this is simple and so good. From Taste of Home, submitted by John Croce (Massachusetts). Serve with crusty Italian bread. My kids love this too.

This soup was a little too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper.
