Description

Warm your soul with this creamy Mediterranean White Bean and Rosemary Soup, a delightful blend of hearty beans and aromatic herbs that’s perfect for any chilly day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the Beans: Stir in the drained white beans, mixing well to coat them in the onion-garlic mixture.
  3. Pour in the Broth: Add vegetable broth and chopped rosemary to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Simmer Away: Reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Blend It Up: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer batches to a countertop blender. Blend until smooth but retain some texture if desired.
  6. Season & Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, drizzled with additional olive oil if desired.
