    This soup has a really great depth of flavor, even though the ingredients are very simple. The texture after pureeing half of the beans and adding them back to the broth was very pleasant. After adding the pasta, the soup was very substantial (in a good way)- so this is a good one for dinner. I subbed cranberry beans for borlotti beans and used about one teaspoon of dried ground rosemary for the fresh.
