Cozy Rosemary & Garlic White Bean Soup is a rustic, nourishing soup made with creamy white beans, fragrant rosemary, garlic, and a flavorful broth. It’s comforting, budget-friendly, and comes together quickly with pantry staples.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 (15 oz) cans white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Crusty bread or grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add garlic and rosemary, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in white beans, broth, bay leaf (if using), salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. Optional: Blend 1–2 cups of the soup and return to the pot, or use an immersion blender for a creamier texture.
  6. Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Add chopped kale or spinach in the last few minutes for extra greens.
  • For a heartier version, stir in cooked sausage.
  • Use dried beans if preferred—soak and cook them beforehand.
  • Soup thickens after sitting; add a splash of broth or water when reheating.
  • Freezes well for up to 2 months—cool completely before storing.
