Great recipe! I was just looking for a good bean dish as we are trying to add more beans to our diet. Does your Rosemary bush survive the winter? I just got a Rosemary bush this spring and have it outside. We live in NE PA so I am hoping it will survive the winter.
You do a great job!

Thanks so much, Kimi. It’s been awhile since I have been on your blog, I’ve been so busy, but you never fail to present great recipes. I can’t wait to try this one.

Also, I’m salivating over the picture of the pumpkin pie ice cream. It looks amazing.

This sounds great! Must accompaniments: some sharp cheese and fresh roasted garlic bread. Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it the next dreary day we get.

Hi Sarah,
Great question. I make chicken broth almost every week, but I never seem to have enough to go into all of the dishes I want too. For that reason alone, with dishes, like this, that don’t necessarily have to have it, I will leave it out.

But I think that it would be a great addition! I think that it would give it a well rounded flavor and it would definitely add more nourishing elements to the soup.

If you use broth, do let me know how it goes. I think it would be delicious.

I'm just curious why you did not use chicken broth in place of the 8 cups of water. Would that work do you think to make it more nourishing or would it impart too much flavor and change the taste entirely?

It looks and sounds fabulous! I am going to make it Wednesday and can't wait to try it!

Thanks!
Sarah

MMmmmm you know, I try to stay away from eating animal products, but a small amount of anchovy is so much taste! It’s not the same to me as, say, eating a chicken sandwich. So I’m going to have to go ahead and give this recipe a go! Thank you

It looks delicious! I make a similar soup with white beans only and I add the rind of a parmesan or pecorino cheese for a little added flavor. I think your addition of anchovies is brilliant.

Yum! Looks fantastic (and it is hard to photograph beans so they look tasty and not just a big mishmash of brown! Great job!) . . . I can almost smell it through the computer!

I keep a tube of anchovy paste in my fridge just for occasions like this!

Best,
Sarah
