This Bean and Pasta Soup (Sopa de Feijão com Macarrão) is a classic everyday Brazilian recipe.

Delicious, nutritious and full of flavor, this soup is easy to make and easy on the wallet, too.

Notes
- These are my favorite beans recipes to make this soup from:
- Store this soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep the breadcrumbs in a separate container at room temperature because they will get soggy in the fridge otherwise.
