Vegan Cuban White Bean Soup

This is a classic Cuban soup, and it’s one of my favorite vegan soups. It’s really easy and affordable to make. It has awesome flavor and instead of using pork, I opted to use jackfruit to replicate the shredded pork and ham that is traditionally in the soup. I hope you enjoy this vegan version!
