For a richer flavor, consider adding a Parmesan cheese rind to the soup while it simmers. Remember to remove it before serving. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the cannellini beans before adding them to the pot. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop overnight. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also add other vegetables such as carrots or zucchini. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking for a spicier soup.
