The Coziest White Bean Soup 🤍🥣✨

Inspired by @munchingwithmariyah — a bowl that works with almost any bean and tastes like pure comfort.

Why This Soup Feels Like Pure Comfort ✨

• Bean-flexible: works with white beans or any beans you love.
• Simple but layered: aromatics, herbs, and broth build flavor fast.
• Creamy without being heavy: mash beans or add a splash of dairy/coconut.
• Cozy, not fussy: one pot, easy steps, big payoff.

Ingredients (4 servings) 🫘🥕🌿

Base & Beans
• 2 cans white beans (or any beans you love), drained
• 1 onion, diced
• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Flavor Boosters 🌿
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½–1 tsp black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt to taste

Broth & Creaminess 🤍
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• ½ cup milk, cream, or coconut milk
• Optional: handful of spinach or kale

Instructions (cozy + simple) 🔥

1. Sauté the aromatics

Warm olive oil, then cook onion, garlic, carrot, and celery until soft and fragrant.

2. Season it up

Add thyme, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf. Let everything bloom.

3. Add the beans

Stir in beans and coat them in all that flavor.

4. Pour in the broth

Bring to a simmer and cook until the veggies are tender and the soup smells like comfort.

5. Make it creamy

Mash some beans in the pot or stir in milk/cream/coconut milk for that signature cozy texture.

6. Finish + serve

Add greens if using, adjust seasoning, and ladle into warm bowls.
