Ingredients
Scale
Creamy White Bean Soup
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Yellow Onion, diced
1 Celery Stick, diced
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
4 Cups Vegetable Broth
3 Cans White Beans, rinsed & drained
1 Stem Rosemary, off the stem & slightly chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Homemade Croutons
1 Cup Bread, cubed
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Pinch Salt
1 Pinch Black Pepper
Toppings:
Olive Oil, optional
Fresh Rosemary, optional
Shaved Parmesan, optional
Homemade Croutons, optional
Instructions
In a large pot, at medium heat, heat up 1 teaspoon olive oil, then add 1/2 cup diced onion, & 1 stick celery. Cook for 5 minutes then add the garlic & cook for 3 more minutes.
Turn the heat up to high & then add 4 cups vegetable broth, 3 cans of beans, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Once the soup begins to boil turn the heat down to medium heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While your soup is cooking set your oven to low broil. Toss the cubed bread in 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pinch salt, & 1 pinch black pepper. Low broil for 5 minutes, or until golden & crispy, then set to the side & let cool.
Ladle the soup into your blender until it is halfway full. Pulse blend the soup & be sure to let steam out throughout the blending process. Pour out the blended soup in a pot & repeat the above process until all of the soup is blended. *(1)
Eat immediately or return soup to the pot to simmer until ready to eat. *(2)
Notes
For safety purposes, be sure to let steam out throughout the blending process. I put the lid on top, lift up the center insert slightly & let some steam out. Then I lightly place the center insert back on top & pulse blend, stopping to let the steam out every few seconds.
The longer the soup simmers the thicker it gets, you may need to add more vegetable broth the longer it cooks. Just add a little at a time as needed.
