Hearty and delicious, cheap and easy, this vegan Tuscan White Bean Soup features nutrient-dense kale, some pantry-staples, fresh herbs and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

This easy white bean soup has been on regular rotation at our house this autumn because it uses simple ingredients and is a hit with the entire family. Start by sautéing the onions, carrots, and celery until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic, chili flakes, and rosemary and cook until fragrant. Next, add the beans and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, ladle half of the soup into a blender. Add the lemon juice and purée the soup until smooth. Add the puréed portion back to the pot and season to taste. Puréeing half the soup and adding it back to the pot is the secret method that elevates the dish to a higher level. The soup tastes creamy, without including any heavy cream. The result is still a brothy soup with distinct beans, veggies and kale, but it’s hearty, creamy, and rich. Finally, add in the kale and bring the soup to a boil. Once the kale is slightly wilted, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the parsley. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, if needed, and serve hot!
To make the Tuscan White Bean Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add in 2 minced garlic cloves, chili flakes to taste, and 1 sprig minced rosemary. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add in 4 cups navy beans and stir to combine.
Pour in 4 cups vegetable stock and stir. Bring to a boil.
Once at a boil, gently ladle half of the soup into a blender. Add in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and carefully blend until this portion of the soup is smooth and creamy.
Add the puréed portion of the soup back to the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Add 3 cups chopped Tuscan kale to the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Once the kale is slightly wilted, taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
Stir in ¼ cup chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Serve the soup hot, and enjoy.
