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. Prep Time: 20 minutes"
