Note: This recipe, found at the above website, is obviously adapted
from Claire Criscuolo, in Claire's Corner Copia Cookbook. (See recipe
below.) The Health Well folks appear to have lightened her recipe: the
only changes appear to be in the oil and butter. All else appears to
have remained the same, practically word-for-word. Too bad that they
didn't give any credit to Ms. Criscuolo. They added this info, too:
"This savory soup is created with an abundance of seasonal vegetables.
