I lowered the sodium content by adding no sodium tomatoes and rinsing the beans before adding them to the soup. Delicious! - 10/27/10

This recipe already called for no sodium (no salt) tomatoes and to rinse the beans before adding them to the soup. So the sodium content should have been accurate, I think.
