Fat Flush Soup 3.0
Beans, beans, the magical fruit … In this Goodtaste original recipe, we employ a pound of Great Northern beans to imbue the soup with protein and texture to keep you full for hours! The Parmesan rind is optional, but including it will result in a creamier and more flavorful final dish.
