Rosemary White Bean Soup with Optional Chicken image

This vegetable broth-based soup is the perfect cure for what ails you. I think of it as the perfect vegetarian substitute for sick-day chicken noodle soup; of course, you can add back the chicken to a portion for the meat-eaters. Either way, it's light yet hearty - and simply delicious.
