Black and White Bean Soup
Description
This soup starts by sautéing onion and garlic in olive oil until tender, then adding two types of canned beans—navy and black—along with diced tomatoes, beef broth, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmered to meld flavors, with an optional finish of red wine or apple cider vinegar added just before serving to brighten the soup's flavor profile.
The soup textures vary between the softness of the beans and the slight acidity from tomatoes and vinegar. Herbs provide a fresh contrast to the deeper broth and beans, making it appetizing without heaviness. It cooks relatively quickly and is well suited to cool-weather meals or as an easy wholesome lunch or dinner.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed container for several days and reheated gently to preserve flavor and texture.
