Description
Creamy White Bean & Spinach Soup
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 oz) cans white beans (like cannellini), drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish)
Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Directions
Sauté aromatics:
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Add beans & broth:
Stir in the white beans, broth, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer.
Blend partially:
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup slightly to create a creamy consistency while leaving some beans whole. (Or, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend, and return to the pot.)
Add spinach:
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve & garnish:
Ladle into bowls, top with grated Parmesan, and serve with crusty bread for dipping.
