CREAMY WHITE BEAN SOUP RECIPE
This is the best white bean soup recipe I tried so far and I love it not only because of the lovely flavor it has but also as it’s easy, simple, and affordable to make.
SEASONINGS FOR WHITE BEAN SOUP
Although I seasoned this tasty recipe with salt and pepper, you can always add other great seasoning ingredients; for example fresh herbs, dried herbs, and spices.
- Fresh rosemary.
- Italian seasoning.
- Tomato paste.
- Red pepper flakes.
- Smoked paprika.
- Lemon juice.
BEANS
Although I used two butter bean cans for this hearty soup you have many other options to use. Moreover, you can also use dried beans if you don’t want to use canned beans as I did. For this last option bear in mind, that you will have to soak the dried beans in water and cook them, this will increase the cooking time and preparation of this recipe.
- Canned cannellini beans.
- Navy beans.
- White kidney beans.
- Great northern beans.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
Besides this is a great white bean recipe as it is, you can always add more ingredients and personalize it to your taste.
- Vegan milk: such as fat coconut milk and almond milk.
- Vegetables: for example red pepper, sweet potato, carrots, and potatoes.
- Roasted vegetables.
- Fresh vegetables: such as fresh spinach and fresh chopped kale.
- Collard greens.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS FOR WHITE BEAN SOUP
Even though you can enjoy this great white bean soup on its own, you can also have it with other dishes. One of my favorite ones is toasted bread. This can be:
- Tomato bruschetta.
- Garlic bread.
- or you can also add croutons to this great soup.
Lastly, as this is a gluten-free white bean soup recipe you can adapt the toasted bread or the croutons to a gluten-free option. Alternatively, you can make roasted chickpeas as a great variation of the traditional croutons.
