Ingredients

  5. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes so the flavors can blend.

Notes

  • Cannellini beans, great northern beans, or navy beans all work well in this recipe.
  • For extra greens, add spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Add small pasta like ditalini or orzo for a heartier soup.
  • Crushed red pepper flakes can be added for a slightly spicy version.
  • Rotisserie chicken can be used to save preparation time.
  • If the soup becomes too thick after storing, add extra broth or water when reheating.
