This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans. It's easy to make and very flavorful. I love the addition of radicchio, which adds a nice bitterness.

This soup was a disappointment. The beans were overcooked and the soup was too salty. I won't be making this recipe again.

Not a fan of this soup. The radicchio was too bitter for my taste. I think I'll stick to my usual minestrone recipe.
