Notes
- Ensure beans are canned or pre-cooked before adding to this recipe.
- If adding meat, cook first before adding to the soup.
- Pasta is best if this soup is eaten right after cooking.
- If you will be saving leftovers, cook the pasta separately and add to each bowl.
- This recipe doubles well and freezes well for an easy dinner later!
- No Kale? No problem, substitute spinach by adding it in the last 3 minutes of cooking.
