Notes

Net carbs: 34g per serving (45g total carbs minus 11g fiber).
Substitutions: Use whatever canned beans you have on hand; gluten-free pasta keeps the soup gluten-free.
Storage: Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheating: If you plan to freeze portions, cook the pasta separately and add it per serving, since pasta turns mushy when frozen and reheated.
