Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use as a substitute for butter beans in this soup?
You can substitute butter beans with other types of white beans such as cannellini beans, navy beans, or great northern beans. Chickpeas could also be used for a different texture.
How should I store leftovers of this hearty bean and pasta soup?
Store the leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to store it longer, freeze it in portions for up to 3 months. Remember to cook the pasta al dente if you're planning to freeze the soup, as it will continue to cook when reheated.
What should I do if my soup is too thick?
If your soup is too thick, simply add a little bit of water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. Stir well and heat through until blended. If you're making this adjustment after the pasta has been added, be careful not to overcook it.

Wine
