White Bean Soup with Parmesan

Cultural Context

Originating from rustic Italian cuisine, white bean soup is a comforting dish often enjoyed in colder months. It highlights the simplicity of beans, enhanced with aromatic vegetables and the richness of parmesan cheese. This soup is not only hearty and filling but also a staple for meal prep, as it stores well and flavors deepen over time. Today, variations abound, with some adding greens or different herbs, making it a versatile favorite in many homes.

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie option that adds a cheesy flavor.

In a large pot or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant (about 2-3 minutes), while stirring occasionally.

2

Add in the broth, tomatoes, sugar, Italian herbs, salt and pepper.

3

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to combine all of the flavours together.

4

Stir in the beans and spinach. Continue to simmer gently until the spinach has wilted (about 2 minutes).

5

Take off heat. Stir through the parmesan cheese. Taste test, adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
