Zuppa Maritata image

Mayor Ed Koch had a slight stroke while he was mayor of New York City and while lying bedridden at Gracie Mansion, he heard that he had a visitor. He was soon shocked to learn that Mother Teresa had come to call. He leaped up and put on a bathrobe, saying, "Mother, what are you doing here?" Mother Teresa answered, "You need your friends when you are sick." In honor of friendship, healing, Mother Teresa, and Ed Koch, here is a true comfort soup that bridges all lands and creeds.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to mine, and it turned out great. I also used chicken broth instead of beef broth, and it was still very flavorful.
