Helpful hints

  • If you use a wide-mouth jar you can eat the soup directly from the jar—no bowl needed.
  • Serve with low-salt crackers or your favorite roll or bread.
  • Reduced-sodium olives are available online if you do not find them in the grocery store.
  • Whole milk ricotta cheese adds creaminess to the soup and is lower in sodium than low fat or skim ricotta cheese.
  • For an extra flavor boost, add a dollop of pesto. See the DaVita Basil Pesto recipe.
