Dad's Bean and Cabanossi Soup מרק השעועית של אבא

Bean and Pepperoni Cabanossi Soup מרק השעועית של אבא
 

It's a post about the soup my father loved So much .
Bean soup with Cabanossi and lot of garlic. Mom used to prepare this soup for years only in winter. I asked my mother today if this soup was born in my grandmother home (my father's mother) or her home, the answer is uncertain (yet)... This week as I sat with mom talking I've asked her to tell me all the secrets of this comforting soup. and she told me ..

My mom's tips were very helpful couse I've never cooked this soup before.
Today in our small kitchen ,after a while I could smell that familiar smell ..spreading all over the house.. I knew I did it ! that's our family favorite winter soup . Like My Dad use to eat for many years.Thank you mom :-)
