Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Cannellini beans are the classic choice for Tuscan soup, but you can also use great northern beans or any other type of white bean. Make sure they are dry and not canned.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use good quality smoked turkey: This is the star of the show, so don't skimp on it. Look for a smoked turkey that is moist and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up all of the delicious broth.
