Cannellini Bean Soup with Passata di Pomodoro & Gremolata
My Italian cannellini bean soup is cooked with Passata di Pomodoro and finished with a zesty garlicky swirl of Gremolata. It's easy, hearty, super delicious, gluten-free, protein packed, naturally vegan and good for you.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
saute aromatics

Preheat a heavy bottom soup pot over medium heat and sauté the onion, carrot and celery in a light drizzle of olive oil or water until softened and translucent and the veggies start to get a little color at the edges.

add garlic + herbs

Push the veggies to the side and add a drop of olive oil in the middle then drop in the minced garlic. Cook just until fragrant then stir in the chili flakes and herbs (oregano, bay, thyme, rosemary).

5
add beans + passata & simmer
6
Add the beans, water, Passata, nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and simmer for ⏱️ 25 minutes for the flavors to marry. (This soup tastes even better the following couple of days after it sat in the fridge and created magic together).

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a spoon of the gremolata and a thick slice of bruschetta or crusty bread. (Alternatively you cab mix all the gremolata in the pot of soup but I like to serve it individually).
