Notes

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm it on the stove over low heat or in the microwave. If you want to keep it longer, freeze in single portions for up to 3 months. Rinse the beans thoroughly to remove debris and excess sodium. Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition. Adjust seasoning as desired.
