A quick and comforting Tuscan white bean soup made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for cozy dinners and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (about 15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups (32 fl oz) chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) heavy cream or half-and-half (or coconut milk/unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the broth: Pour 4 cups (32 fl oz) of chicken or vegetable broth into a medium soup pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Cook the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the simmering broth and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the beans and herbs: Stir in the drained white beans and 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme. Let simmer for 10 minutes to marry the flavors.
  4. Partially blend the soup: Remove the herb sprigs. Use an immersion blender to blend about half the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, carefully blend half the soup and return it to the pot.
  5. Add the cream: Stir in 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) heavy cream or chosen dairy alternative. Heat gently for another 5 minutes without boiling.
  6. Season and serve: Taste and adjust with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Blend only half the soup to achieve a creamy texture without it becoming gummy. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. If soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen. For dairy-free, substitute cream with coconut milk or cashew cream. Fresh herbs are preferred over dried. A squeeze of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavor.
