This Creamy White Bean Soup Is So Satisfying
I try not to be an ingredient snob, but this recipe is quite simple with minimal cooking time, so the quality of the ingredients does make a difference. I made a particularly rich homemade vegetable stock and my beans were cooked from dried beans. I think canned beans would be fine, but I’d really encourage you to make homemade stock for this one. I happen to have a great recipe right here :)
-I finished my soup with a lemon-infused extra virgin olive oil and it was *chef kiss* amaaazing.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon heat-tolerant oil, such as avocado or refined coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, small dice
1 medium carrot, small dice
1 celery rib, small dice
2 cloves garlic, minced
chili flakes or aleppo pepper, to taste
1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced
4 cups cooked navy beans (about 2 15-ounce cans, drained)
4 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
3 cups packed chopped lacinato kale (roughly 1 small bunch)
big handful finely chopped flat leaf parsley
Instructions
Heat the oil in a medium-large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and stir. Saute the vegetables until lightly softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
To the pot, add the garlic, chili flakes, and rosemary. Stir and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the navy beans to the pot and stir. Add the vegetable stock to the pot and stir once more. Bring the soup to a boil.
