For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat. Other beans can be substituted for Great Northern. Cannellini or navy beans would also work well. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld. For a heartier meal, add a cooked grain such as quinoa or barley during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
