italian white bean soup
(1 RATING)
This is a recipe my husband and I came up with while trying to make a healthy bean soup we would really enjoy! It has a lot of roots in his Mother's Italian style of cooking when she was raising my husband and his 8 other siblings. Though we definitely scaled down the amount of soup made.
