Ingredients
- 3 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans, divided
- 4 cups vegetable broth, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 sticks celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 2 cups chopped spinach or kale
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- Garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse and drain 1 can of beans. Place the beans in a blender or food processor with 1 cup of the broth. Blend until smooth and set aside. You don't want to blend all of the beans, just 1 can. The pureed beans will make the soup extra creamy. Rinse and drain the remaining beans and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the pureed bean mixture, whole beans, remaining broth, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the spinach or kale and simmer for 10 more minutes. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a little fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. I recommend serving with crusty bread or biscuits.
Notes
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
