Description
A simple, creamy soup made from white beans, topped with sautéed broccolini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plain plant milk (soy or oat recommended)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for broccolini)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed cannellini beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Stir in the plant milk. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Keep warm.
- While the soup simmers, prepare the broccolini. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the trimmed broccolini to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly browned. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with the sautéed broccolini.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, use less plant milk or simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before blending.
- If you do not have an immersion blender, mash about half the beans before adding the broth for a chunkier texture.
