I like to welcome family home with steaming bowls of this hearty white bean soup. It features plenty of vegetables as well as tender Italian meatballs.—Mary Caron, Edenton, North Carolina

A great tasting and simple to make soup. I used 1/2 pound of sausage instead of 1/4 lb. I was able to make 35 small meatballs. Even more sausage would have been a little better.
