LEEK AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP
This soup is a terrific choice for those over sixty, as it's abundant in nutrients one especially needs later in life. These include healthy plant protein (older adults are prone to protein insufficiency), fiber, vitamin K, potassium, lysine to aid in calcium absorption, and folate to help reduce homocysteine levels, which are a major risk factor for heart disease. And of course, all soups are soft and so are a favorite for anyone with dental difficulties.

[email protected]I'm not sure why this soup is called 'Tuscan'. It doesn't have any of the traditional Tuscan ingredients, like kale or sausage.
