                    A very easy and yummy soup. NOTE: you can remove the meatballs, and subsistute vegetable broth for chicken broth, like I do, since I am a vegetarian. This recipe came from Woman's World (I believe) Ingredients:

                                                1 (14 ounce) can fat-free low sodium chicken broth  |  
                                                1 (15 1/2 ounce) can white beans, rinsed, drained  |
