Creamy Tomato Bean Soup
Recipe video above. This is a white bean soup with a thick, creamy broth that's full of savoury flavour with a hint of tomato. It's a fast way to turn bland beans into a really filling soup that so simple to make, yet so, so good! The flavour trick - blitzing up the sautéed onion, carrot and garlic with just a bit of the beans. Keep it meat free or see notes for how to add ham, bacon, chicken or sausage! This is VERY filling - and keeps you full for ages (thank you beans!)

📝 Preparation Steps

Melt butter in a pot over medium high heat. Cook garlic, onion and carrot for ⏱️ 5 minutes until carrot is soft and sweet.

2
About ⏱️ 3 minutes in, add the Italian herbs and cook with the onion (makes the herb flavour "bloom").

3
Turn heat up to high, add tomato paste. Cook for ⏱️ 2 minutes to remove the “raw” flavour.
4
Add white wine, cook for ⏱️ 3 minutes until the harsh “winey” smell is gone and mostly evaporates so you’re just left with tomato paste again.
5
Add 1/2 cup of beans (to thicken soup), stock, parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir, low heat, cover and simmer ⏱️ 3 minutes, stirring every now and then.
