    This Italian Vegan White Bean Soup is so comforting. You can either serve it brothy or creamy by serving as is or blending half of the soup before serving. This soup also freezes beautifully!

    This soup recipe is so simple and so flavorful. You can easily add or remove any vegetables to it and it also freezes beautifully. One of our favorite ways to serve this soup is slightly blended, meaning we blend half of the soup, but you could also serve it as is or blend it completely smooth as well.

    If you’re in the mood for more of a brothy soup, don’t blend. If you want a cozy warm soup that is creamy, definitely try blending half of it! Can’t do textures? Go all out and blend it all the way.

    Recipe Tips

    • Add your favorite veggies! We love adding in some potatoes, string beans, zucchini, peas, corn, greens, or even red pepper. If you have some veggies to use up this is a great way to use them.
    • Don’t like wheat beans? Try this recipe with chickpeas!
    • Spice it up by adding some red chili flakes.

    STORAGE AND REHEATING TIPS

    • Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days.
    • Reheat: To reheat place in a bowl and microwave until your desired temperature or use a saucepan on the stove on medium-low heat stirring to prevent it from burning.
    • Freeze: Pour the soup into an air tight container leaving some room for expansion and then freeze for up to 6 months.

    HOW TO SERVE

    We love serving this soup with some of our homemade garlic bread and a side salad.

    FAQs

    Can I freeze this soup?

    Yes, it freezes well and can be frozen for 4-6 months.

    Can I use canned white beans?

    Yes! We prefer making our instant pot Great Northern Beans, but you can definitely use canned white beans.

    What are some good add-ins to this soup?

    We love adding in some potatoes, string beans, zucchini, peas, corn, greens, or even red pepper. This is a great clean your refrigerator soup!

    Can I use all broth and no water?

    Absolutely! We just prefer to reduce the amount of sodium. If it was our homemade broth we’d add all 5 cups of it. With store-bought, we like to dilute as it can be overwhelming and not allow the other ingredients to shine.
