One of my family's favorite soups. Great on chilly days. For bean lovers, add a second can of white beans.

Super easy and great! Followed almost exactly as written. I ended up dividing my chicken broth (2 cups low sodium 2 cups regular) to get the salt level right and threw a diced carrot in there because I do that with pretty much all of my family meals. Served to my wife and daughter after the came home from sledding. They loved it. Read More

Delicious and very easy. I didn't use cabbage and added a tsp flour extra can of beans and a little pasta because I like bean soup thick. Am guessing the cabbage would have accomplished that but I didn't have any. Ditalini or shells are good choices - just a small amount because they soak up a lot of broth. Read More

Only thing I did differently was add finely chopped red pepper (only half) and 3 more cups of water along with the broth. Otherwise same portions and it was yummy! I also did add spice/hot sauce because I love spicy soups!! Read More
