Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil divided, plus more for drizzling
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 small fennel bulb coarsely chopped
- 3 medium carrots chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 jarred roasted red bell peppers
- 1/4 cup cooked cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
For Serving (all optional):
- 1 jarred roasted red pepper diced
- finely chopped parsley
- Pinches of red pepper flakes
- microgreens
- warm baguette
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and pinches of salt and pepper and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, fennel, carrots, and thyme leaves. Stir and cook until the carrots begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, red peppers, beans, tomato paste, broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer until the carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the simmered soup to a high-speed blender with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and puree until smooth. Season with more salt and pepper, to taste. If you would like more punch, add a few more drops of balsamic, to taste. If you would like a little heat, add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Serve with generous drizzles of olive oil, desired garnishes, and warm baguette.
