White bean soup is a crazy delicious meal that is super simple to make. And it happens to be completely plant-based/ vegan friendly.

You know those nights where you don’t have much planned for dinner, and you need something simple on the fly? With ingredients you always have on hand? This white bean soup is perfect for that!

Made with canned beans, plus several long-lasting aromatic veggies and herbs. Pair it with some toast, store-bought baguette or homemade sourdough bread to make it even more filling.

How to make vegan white bean soup

Here is how you can make this easy, vegan white beans soup. First gather your ingredients.

Ingredients

For tastiest results, always use the best quality ingredients you have access to.

We are working with pretty basic ingredients here: celery, carrot, onion, garlic, canned white beans, vegetable stock, spinach and some yummy seasonings.

You can use any type of oil. Or if you want to make this refined oil free? Use a little extra broth (about 1/4 cup) or water to do a water sauté on your veggies, watching closely to make sure you do not evaporate all the liquid and burn anything.

Process

Heat a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat on the stovetop. Add in the olive oil. 

Once the oil is hot, add in the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.  Then add in the carrots, celery, garlic, italian seasoning and chili powder.

Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are nice and soft. 

Add in the vegetable broth, beans and some more salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Stir it all together, bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes. 

Stir the spinach into the white bean soup. 

And then cook for 2-3 more minutes until wilted.

Remove the pot from the heat, divide the white bean soup into bowls and top with parsley and vegan parmesan cheese. We like the VioLife vegan Just Like Parmesan the best. It is the kind you grate yourself.
