The crisp Rosemary Toasts taste great dunked into this flavorful soup. To serve on the side, toss arugula with sliced red onions and basalmic vinaigrette, then top the salad with shavings of Parmesan cheese. For dessert, keep it simple with ripe pears and amaretti (almond cookies).

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil reserved from sun-dried tomatoes in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and savory and stir 1 minute. Add broth and sun-dried tomatoes.
