For a vegetarian option, omit the kielbasa and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a similar smoky flavor.
You can use other types of beans, such as cannellini or Great Northern beans, in place of the white beans.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors of the soup.

    This soup is so easy to make and tastes amazing! I added a little bit of red pepper flakes for some extra heat.

  • Jamarcus Senger

    Great recipe! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make it vegetarian, and it was still delicious.

  • Mylene Gerlach

    I loved this recipe! It's become a staple in our house. I sometimes add a bay leaf while it simmers for extra flavor.
