Notes

  • Add Extra Veggies: You can add more vegetables. Try zucchini, spinach, or kale for extra nutrition.
  • Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Use Any Beans: If you don’t have white beans, use kidney beans or black beans.
  • Don’t Overcook Pasta: Add the pasta near the end of cooking. This keeps it from getting too soft.
  • Thicker Soup: For a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before adding them.
