I tried this for a quick winter time warm up. It’s a winner. As my wife said, this one is a keeper! I added sweet italian sausage and used lower sodium stock. Next time I’ll try lower sodium cannellini beans also. With the sausage added it didn’t need any salt or sodium at all.
Thanks for a great recipe – easy, quick and delicious! Exactly what a guy messing up the kitchen needs! 5 STARS!
