The cannellini beans give this soup a creamy consistency without using milk or cream. Feel free to vary the vegetables, depending on what you have handy. Frozen veggies also work well.

This soup was so delicious that all 4 of my kids begged me to make it again and again! I have had to double the recipe just to have enough for their voracious appetites!
