Bean Soup {Tuscan Style}

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, (divided)

onion

carrot ((1 large))

celery

garlic cloves, (minced (nearly 2 Tbsp)*)

chicken broth

tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and black pepper, (to taste**)

beans

(packed) fresh spinach, (roughly chopped)

Heat 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and saute 4 minutes.

Add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.

Pour in chicken broth, Italian seasoning and add parmesan rind. Season with pepper and lightly with salt to taste (wait until the end to add more salt, the rind will infuse some salt to the soup).

Cover soup with lid, bring soup to a light boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until veggies are tender, about 12 - 15 minutes.

Add beans and spinach, let heat just until spinach wilts, about 30 seconds.

Remove from heat. Mash up about half the beans with a potato masher (this helps make the brother creamier and heartier).

Remove parmesan rind. Drizzle individual servings of soup with remaining 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or more to taste) and top with parmesan.

Ready in just 30 minutes, this Tuscan bean soup has a rich umami flavor thanks to the addition of smoked paprika and fennel.

Absolutely delicious! I used all ingredients just as described. I did have to cook the lentils longer than 10 minutes, but the flavor was fantastic. I also blended mine just a bit with an immersion blender to make it extra creamy. Thank you for a delicious recipe!

Warming and filling, simple and frugal, and a complete meal in one bowl - you can&#x27;t go wrong with my traditional, veggie-packed pasta fagioli (aka pasta fazool)!

Pasta Fagioli (vegan)

soffritto

vegetable broth

white beans

tbsp flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)

plum tomato (coarsely chopped)

50 g mixed short pasta ((dry weight))

Sea salt and pepper (to taste)

Vegan parmesan

Vegan sausages (sliced)

crusty bread

Add the soffritto to a large pan, along with the vegetable broth. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 mins.

Add half the beans and all of the tomato.

Mash the remaining beans, then add to the soup. Add the pasta, kale, and parsley, and stir.

Cook gently for another 8-10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente, stirring once or twice to prevent the mixture sticking, then turn off the heat, and skim the soup to remove any froth.

Ladle into dishes or bowls, grind a little black pepper over the top, and serve.

Add a few slices of vegan sausage during the last 5 mins of simmering. You could also finish the soup with a sprinkling of vegan parmesan, and serve with a chunk of fresh crusty bread or sourdough.

Optional

Pasta &amp; Beans.. one of my all time favourite combinations. So simple, and so satisfying. x

This is a beautiful recipe, full of wonderful flavours! I learned something new! Thanks! :)

What a lovely soup!  I eat a lot of soups at this time of year and often just throw whatever is in the fridge into the soup plus a tin of beans.   Interesting to read about the soffrito and how universal it is throughout Europe but with just a few variations.  Thank you so much!

Tuscan White Bean Soup, or Ribollita, is a soul warming bowl of comfort. This hearty, rustic soup is a classic dish that has been cooked in peasants&#x27; kitchens for centuries.
