Notes
Use this vegan white bean soup as a base and add your favorite vegetables and leafy greens. If you do do this, you might need to adjust the amount of water added.
Dry white beans - if using dry beans, you will need to sort them before soaking them in water overnight (triple the amount of water to bean ratio) and then cooking until tender.
