INSTRUCTIONS FOR Quick N Easy Tuscan White Bean Soup RecipeĀ
āStart by heating the olive oil in a large pot, on the stove, over medium-low heat.
āSaute the onions, garlic, and shallots in the olive oil for, about 3-4 minutes.
āThen, adding the carrots and celery and saute for another 7-10 minutes. This is really important to ensure that the flavors build.
āRinse and drain your cannellini beans, and add them to the pot along with the bay leaves, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper.
āBring your mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
āRemove the cover to pull out and discard the bay leaves.
āNext, transfer two cups of the soup to a high-speed blender and blend so it gets creamy.
āReturn your soup to the pot and stir generously.
āAdd in the spinach and stir until it’s wilted.
āGarnish your soup with some fresh herbs and a slice of crusty bread; serve, and enjoy!
NOTES:
- Preheat your pot on the stove before adding the oil. This will help prevent anything from sticking to the pot.
- Use shallots rather than cooking onions in this recipe. Shallots are sweeter in flavour and have a buttery elemtnt to them, which results in a more delicious soup!
- Donāt skip browing the veggies in the pan. This helps to build flavour in the soup.
- You donāt have to blend any of this soup, but blending 1/3 of the soup helps result in a creamier soup. Blended or not, this soup is delicious either way!
- This recipe calls for cannellini beans, but you can substitute any white bean if needed.

Sounds great
I look forward to making this!
Sounds perfect for our lunchtime! Thanks!
Thanks. I’ll be making this over the weekend
Great recipe. Making it now. Great for a rainy day.
We made this and switched the vegetable broth out for chicken broth. This is the VERY BEST bean soup we ever had!!
This is the same way I make mine, sometimes kale, sometimes spinach.
But, one big difference. I use three links of Italian sausage taken out the casing and broken up into mini chunks and fried. I remove the meat from the pan and use the grease from the sausage (not much at all) to brown the veggies. Then proceed with the recipe with 1 less can of beans. I add the sausage back in for the 15 minute simmer. I also donāt blend any of the soup; itās perfect just the way it is.
Those Italian sausage links add so much flavor!
Sounds great. I jphave done this with chicken and kale Italian sausage. Love it without too though
The carbohydrate information can’t be correct. The average can contains 65 grams carbohydrates, and this recipe uses 3 cans. Divided by 6 servings, that makes carbohydrates at least 33g – plus that in the carrots, etc.
Looking forward to make this soup, looks delicious.
