Creamy White Bean Rosemary Soup

A few pantry staples come together to create a delightfully Creamy White Bean Rosemary Soup. Flavored with rosemary and garlic, it’s comforting and cozy – perfect for a chilly September night. Serve topped with crispy bacon bits for the ultimate hearty yet light meal.

The recipe calls for cannellini or Great Northern beans, but navy or white kidney beans would also do the trick. If at all possible, use homemade chicken stock. This easy and flavorful homemade chicken stock is a snap to prepare and cook in the slow cooker. Alternatively, you could make the stock on the stovetop if you prefer. Once the soup has cooked, you can purée it until completely smooth, or only a portion if you want it to be chunky and rustic. I like some texture in my soup, so I removed about 1 cup before blending, then added it back into the pot. You do you.

To make the Creamy White Bean Rosemary Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Creamy White Bean Rosemary Soup

1	Sauté onions and garlic	15
In a 5-6-quart stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat ¼ cup olive oil and add 4 cups sliced yellow onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2	Add beans, broth, rosemary, salt, and pepper	2
Add 3 (15-oz) cans rinsed and drained beans, 4 cups chicken broth, rosemary leaves, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and bring to a boil.
3	Simmer	20
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes.
4	Cook bacon	5
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Then transfer to paper towels to drain.
5	Puree	2
Set aside 1 cup of the soup. Using an immersion blender or a food processor, purée the remaining soup until smooth. Thin it out with the remaining 1 cup chicken stock if desired.
6	Season	2
Return the reserved 1 cup of the soup back to the pot and stir to combine. Add the cayenne pepper to taste.
7	Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and crumble the crispy bacon bits over. Serve and enjoy!
