Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. Different beans have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your soup a more complex flavor and a more interesting mouthfeel.
- Don't overcook the beans. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
- Add vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to your soup. Choose vegetables that you like and that will hold their shape when cooked.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar to brighten up the flavors.
- Serve with a variety of toppings. Grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs, and crusty bread are all great options for topping pasta and bean soup.
