CREAMY BROCCOLI WHITE BEAN SOUP
The weather in Bahrain has been chilly and rainy lately, so all I’ve been having for dinner these days is a huge, piping hot bowl of soup. I like to eat it with a hunk of warm crusty bread, the kind that’s crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy in the middle… yum!
Broccoli white bean soup is the perfect quick-fix dinner for chilly nights. It’ll make you feel warm and cozy, but it’s easy to prepare and doesn’t take much time to cook. What’s more, it’s so rich and hearty, you won’t believe how nutritious it is!
Made with broccoli, cannellini beans, and spices, this soup is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan, making it the perfect meal for anyone who has food sensitivities or just likes to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
On hectic weekday nights (or any night, really!), you can whip up a pot of this soup in about 15 minutes. Simply sauté the shallot and garlic in a pan, then add the broccoli, white beans, and vegetable stock. The broccoli add a beautiful color to the dish, while the beans make it thick and creamy. Because the softened vegetables blend so smoothly, there’s no need to add milk or fat-filled cream to the recipe.
I like to use as few dishes as possible, so I puree the ingredients right in the pot with an immersion blender. You could even use a blender or a food processor, if that was easier for you, just remember to be careful when pureeing hot liquids! If your soup is still too thick after blending, thin it out with some more vegetable stock. If it’s too thin, bring it back to a simmer and cook it until it’s reached your desired consistency.
