Discover the hearty and delicious Tuscan White Bean Soup, a perfect blend of creamy texture and rich flavors inspired by authentic Italian cuisine. This wholesome, vegan-friendly recipe is ideal for cozy fall evenings or quick nutritious meals, packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans or other white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: a splash of lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until vegetables soften.
  2. Stir in the dried thyme and dried rosemary. Add the cannellini beans and cook for a minute to blend flavors.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes to develop flavor.
  4. Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup directly in the pot for creaminess, or transfer a portion to a blender, puree until smooth, then return to the pot. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. For extra flavor, squeeze in lemon juice or sprinkle red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
  • Freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months for meal prepping or quick lunches.
  • Enhance flavor by adding greens like spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking.
