This is a hearty winter soup to take the chill from your bones. If you prefer to use canned beans, I suggest 2 cans of beans.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add a little bit of heat with some red pepper flakes.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turned out great. This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
