You can substitute romano beans with other varieties of beans such as cannellini beans, navy beans, or pinto beans. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the type of beans you use.
Leftover bean soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a little water if the soup has thickened too much.
If your soup is too salty, you can add more water or vegetable broth to dilute the saltiness. Alternatively, you can add diced potatoes or an additional cup of chopped vegetables to absorb some of the salt flavor.
