Let us know how it was!Why would you want to add beans to traditional tomato soup?
Beans and legumes are a great source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. In their dry form, they can be pretty time consuming to cook which is why many people opt to use canned beans.
One concern with canned products is that they can be high in sodium. Sodium is a preservative, which can help foods stay fresher longer. However, when using canned products, you can still control how much sodium is in our dish. One way to do that is by using low sodium or no sodium canned products. Another way is to rinse your veggies before eating which can remove up to 35% of the sodium content. Finally, when incorporating canned products, consider decreasing the amount of salt that add to season your dish. Try using herbs and spices to flavor your dish instead!
