Tips
-Undercook pasta by at least a minute if you’re going to mix all of it into the soup and not serve immediately or going to travel with the dish.
-If you anticipate leftovers, instead of adding the pasta to the crockpot, add between 1/4 to 1/3 cup of pasta into individual bowls, then ladle in the soup. The pasta and beans will continue to absorb the liquid.
-For any leftovers, remove as much of the broth as possible and store it separately to prevent it all being absorbed.
-To thicken the broth, add 2-4 tablespoons of tomato paste, or until it has reached the desired consistency.
