Not Tuscan Soup

This is not Tuscan soup. Every time you see a recipe with white beans or sun-dried tomatoes, they call it "Tuscan." We live in Chicago. We're not live, laugh, loving. And instead of living under the Tuscan sun, we're struggling under a cold, grey Chicago sky. Try this soup, and you can dream about warmer Italian holidays to come.
