This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used canned beans to save time, and it still came out delicious. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect comfort food.

I'm not a huge fan of bean soups, but this one was surprisingly good. The beans were soft and flavorful, and the broth was rich and savory. I especially liked the addition of the rosemary and thyme, which gave the soup a nice depth of flavor.

I love this soup! It's so hearty and comforting, and it's perfect for a cold winter day. I usually make a big batch and freeze it in individual containers so I can have it on hand for a quick and easy meal.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, maybe some garlic or chili powder. I also found the beans to be a bit too firm. Overall, it was an okay soup, but I wouldn't make it again.
