More bean soups
A few more bean soup recipes we love: our Bean Soup is a tasty classic. Try White Bean Soup or Black Bean Soup, or hearty Cabbage Soup. Or, try our fan-favorite Black Bean Chili! For this soup, you can eat it straight up or make it fancy with a few fun garnishes! Toasted pine nuts take the flavor up a few notches, and you can even drizzle with a little truffle oil and sprinkle with sea salt (all ways of adding flavor while keeping it a vegan soup). We’ve been enjoying leftovers for days and even our toddler can’t stop shoveling in bites.
Fennel, carrots, garlic: Using fennel in a soup adds another layer of flavor, though you can substitute white onion if preferred. White beans: Cannellini beans, Great Northern, or navy beans work well here. Fire roasted tomatoes (diced and crushed): This type of canned tomatoes is roasted over an open flame, which adds sweet and smoky notes. If you can’t find them, use best quality canned tomatoes, like San Marzano or another brand. Italian seasoning and smoked paprika: Seeking out smoked paprika is worth it (also labeled as pimentón or Spanish smoked paprika). Tuscan kale: We typically prefer using Tuscan kale over curly kale; it has a milder, sweeter flavor. But you can substitute curly kale here: it easily takes on the flavor of the soup.
Toasted pine nuts add a layer of intriguing nutty flavor Olive oil or truffle oil add richness and a unique aroma Parmesan or Pecorino cheese add savory notes (or use a vegan Parmesan)
Crusty bread like no knead bread, fougasse, or focaccia bread Simple salads like a Mediterranean salad, arugula salad, or radicchio salad Muffins like corn muffins or popovers
