INSTRUCTIONS FOR Quick N Easy Tuscan White Bean Soup Recipe
⭐Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot, on the stove, over medium-low heat.
⭐Saute the onions, garlic, and shallots in the olive oil for, about 3-4 minutes.
⭐Then, adding the carrots and celery and saute for another 7-10 minutes. This is really important to ensure that the flavors build.

⭐Bring your mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
⭐Remove the cover to pull out and discard the bay leaves.
⭐Next, transfer two cups of the soup to a high-speed blender and blend so it gets creamy.
⭐Return your soup to the pot and stir generously.
⭐Add in the spinach and stir until it’s wilted.
⭐Garnish your soup with some fresh herbs and a slice of crusty bread; serve, and enjoy!
NOTES:
- Preheat your pot on the stove before adding the oil. This will help prevent anything from sticking to the pot.
- Use shallots rather than cooking onions in this recipe. Shallots are sweeter in flavour and have a buttery elemtnt to them, which results in a more delicious soup!
- Don’t skip browing the veggies in the pan. This helps to build flavour in the soup.
- You don’t have to blend any of this soup, but blending 1/3 of the soup helps result in a creamier soup. Blended or not, this soup is delicious either way!
- This recipe calls for cannellini beans, but you can substitute any white bean if needed.
