Italian Country Bread Soup image

This is a great tasting soup and is really good anytime of the year but is very well suiter to winter. I always add 1/2 a can of Romano beans that I have microwaved (in their juice) long enough to make sure that they are tender. Yummm

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit! It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand. This soup is a great way to use up leftover bread too.
