Greek White Bean Soup With Garlic & Lemon is a comforting, creamy, and zesty plant-based soup made with white beans, garlic, and fresh lemon. It’s easy to prepare, full of flavor, and perfect for a cozy meal that also feels light and nourishing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the white beans, broth or water, oregano or thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes to let flavors develop.
  4. Remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some beans whole for texture.
  5. Stir in fresh lemon juice and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and an optional drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

  • Add chopped carrots or celery for extra veggies.
  • Stir in spinach or kale during the last few minutes for a green boost.
  • Blend more of the soup or add plant-based milk for a creamier texture.
  • Add chili flakes or paprika for a spicy touch.
