🥣 Creamy White Bean & Spinach Soup

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 4

This comforting soup feels rich and creamy but is made with heart-healthy beans and olive oil instead of heavy cream. Inspired by Tuscan flavors, it’s full of fiber, low in sodium, and ideal for chilly nights.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 oz) can no-salt-added white beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (use a vegan-friendly broth if making vegan)
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a pot. Sauté onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in beans, broth, thyme, and pepper. Simmer 15 minutes.
Blend half the soup for a creamy texture, then return it to the pot.
Stir in spinach until wilted, add lemon juice and basil. Serve hot.

Vegan: make sure to use a vegan-friendly broth

Flavor & Texture
