Tuscan Bean Soup

Cultural Context

Originating from the rustic kitchens of Tuscany, this hearty bean soup reflects the region's emphasis on simple, wholesome ingredients. Traditionally made with stale bread and seasonal vegetables, it embodies the Italian philosophy of cucina povera, or 'poor cooking,' where nothing goes to waste. Today, variations abound, with some adding different greens or meats, making it a versatile dish enjoyed across Italy and beyond.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor while being dairy-free.

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly option for sautéing.

Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a large pot over medium heat.

2

Add 2 thinly sliced carrots, 2 ribs of celery with leaves, and 2 medium onions chopped; cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

4

Stir in 1 small can of chopped tomatoes, 1 can of cannellini beans, and 1 bowl of spinach.

5

Pour in 32 oz of vegetable broth or chicken broth; if the mixture is too thick, add water as needed.

6

Stir everything well and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to let it simmer for 30 minutes with the lid on, checking every 10 minutes and adding more water if necessary.

7

After 38 minutes of simmering, check for tenderness; the soup should be ready.

Serve hot, garnished with parmesan cheese and fresh spinach.
