These days, the only thing that matters is curling up on the couch with a good movie to watch and a bowl full of comforting soup to warm your soul. Enter this white bean soup! Using minimal pantry staples with some fresh ingredients, you won’t believe the flavour coming out of this pot!

BEAN SOUP

This is one of those soups you look forward to AND long for. Beans simmered in a tomato-based broth on your table in minutes. Perfect for any day of the week made in one pot…and SO MUCH FLAVOUR! The bonus? Perfect for vegetarians.

HOW TO MAKE BEAN SOUP?

This bean soup couldn’t be any easier.

Sauté onion and garlic.
Add and boil broth with tomatoes, herbs and seasonings.
Stir in beans and spinach.
Add in parmesan cheese.

All DONE in 10 minutes!

WHAT KIND OF BEANS ARE GOOD FOR VEGETABLE SOUP?

For this recipe I recommend canned rinsed and drained white beans or cannellini beans. You can use chick peas, black beans, kidney beans (red beans), Pinto beans, etc. For convenience purposes, I have used canned beans in this soup.

DO YOU HAVE TO SOAK BEANS BEFORE COOKING?

If you’d like to use dry beans for this soup, I recommend soaking 2 cups of beans in water overnight. Beans must be submerged in a large bowl or pot of water and let them soak for 8-12 hours overnight before cooking.

SUBSTITUTES

Use fresh tomatoes in place of canned tomatoes, for a richer flavour.
Substitute spinach for kale if you don’t like spinach.

You’re more than welcome to add other vegetables:

zucchini
carrots
red peppers (capsicum)
sliced cabbage
frozen peas
potatoes, sweet potatoes AND/OR pumpkin (you will need to simmer soup for 5-10 minutes longer if using these veggies).
