Ingredients for White Bean Soup Recipe

What you’ll need to create this recipe for white bean soup is listed below:

• White beans! Great Northern beans, navy beans, or cannellini beans all work well. To give the soup its creamy texture, you’ll purée some and leave others whole.
• Olive oil extra virgin – for richness.
• For a savory depth of flavor, include onion and garlic.
• Poblano pepper: This spice adds a touch of fire.
• Use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
• Green chiles, diced, give this straightforward soup a spicy, acidic flavor.
• For an earthy, aromatic flavor, use ground cumin, coriander, and dried oregano.
• Fresh lime juice: This adds a wonderful, vibrant touch to the soup.
• Additionally, add salt and pepper to bring out each flavor.

White Bean Soup: Directions

Making this dish for white bean soup couldn’t be simpler!

First, mix 3/4 cup of broth and half the beans. Now put the puree to the side. Later, you’ll incorporate it into the soup to aid in creating its thick and creamy texture.

Saute the onion and poblano in the meantime. Add the spices, garlic, and green chilies after that. After adding the last of the beans and the stock, simmer for 10 minutes.

The bean purée should then be added. After giving it a thorough stir, boil the soup for a further 20 minutes.

When the soup has reached a simmer, turn off the heat and add the lime juice. Add additional salt, pepper, and lime as desired to taste. I’m done now!

Serving Ideas for White Bean Soup

When it’s time to serve, spoon the soup into bowls and top it with colorful, crunchy fresh garnishes. Listed here are some of my favorites:

• Uncooked cilantro
• Sliced chiles, such as jalapenos or serrano peppers
• Cut-up avocado
• Scallion slices
• Greek yogurt or vegan sour cream, a small amount
• Tangy red onions
• Tortilla chips that have been crushed (not fresh, but still great!)

Jalapeno cornbread or handmade cornbread might be served to finish the meal. If you’re looking for another side dish, consider serving the soup with kale sautéed in butter or a straightforward green salad.

Enjoy!
