Notes

  • Adding beans such as cannellini, kidney, chickpeas, or lentils increases protein and makes the soup more filling.
  • Incorporating browned hamburger or sausage before simmering enriches flavor and adds meatiness.
  • Lemon juice can be added at the end to brighten the flavor, or red pepper flakes for spice.
