Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the kidney beans with another type of bean?
Yes, you can substitute kidney beans with other types of beans such as pinto beans, black beans, or navy beans. Just make sure to rinse and drain them if using canned beans.
How should I store leftovers of the macaroni and bean soup?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then heat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
What should I do if the soup is too thick or too thin?
If the soup is too thick, add a little more water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, you can let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce and thicken it, or add a bit more pasta to absorb excess liquid.
