Vegan White Bean Soup

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.

INGREDIENTS:

• Olive oil – Cooking the veggies and seasonings in oil really helps bring out the flavor, but you can keep this recipe oil free by using broth.
• Onion
• Celery
• Carrots
• Garlic
• Bay Leaf, Oregano, Thyme, Parsley, Basil, Pepper and Kosher Salt – All the flavor!
• White Beans – You can use canned or try making our Instant Pot White Beans recipe.

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.
