Provided one uses vegetable broth and Parmesan without animal rennet, there are no other animal ingredients. To make it vegan, simply replace the Parmesan with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-vegan-cheese-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-vegan-cheese-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vegan cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use dry white beans to make this recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, but for dry beans to work in this recipe, you&#8217;ll need to cook them ahead of time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-quick-soak-dried-beans\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-quick-soak-dried-beans\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Quick soak<\/a> them if you&#8217;re short on time, and then either simmer them in plenty of salted water, or use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/soaking-beans\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/soaking-beans\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pressure cooker<\/a> to make beans as soft as canned ones in a fraction of the cooking time.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you really need to drain and rinse canned beans for soup?<\/h3>\n<p>We call for draining and rinsing the canned white beans in this recipe, but it&#8217;s also fine to pour the cans directly into the pot, if you like. The canning liquid, called aquafaba, will add some viscosity to the cooking liquid for your soup. Note that beans are often canned in salted water, so adding the canned bean liquid can result in a saltier soup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This vegetarian version of white
