I almost always have some in the fridge. I like cannellini beans but garbanzos are my favorite. I add a dollop of pesto at serving time.

One thing, though, I've never been able to add pasta to soup that I'm going to store for a few days. The pasta soaks up so much moisture & gets HUGE!! So I cook it separately & scoop some into the bottom of the bowl at serving time. Does this happen to anyone else?
