Ingredients
-
4
15oz cans of White Beans (I used 2 great northern, 1 cannellini and 1 navy)
-
4 cups
vegetable stock (low sodium)
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
1/2 cup
white wine (I used a dry sauvignon blanc)
-
1 1/2 cups
water
-
5-6
carrots (diced)
-
3
celery stalks (diced)
-
1
yellow onion (diced)
-
2-3
cloves of garlic
-
1 tablespoon
tomato paste
-
2
bay leaves
-
3 sprigs
thyme
-
2 teaspoons
TJ's Vegan Chicken-less Seasoning (omit if you're not close to a TJ's, it will still be delicious)
-
2 teaspoons
salt (or to taste)
-
1 teaspoon
pepper
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven and add onions, carrots and celery and cook over medium to low heat for 5-7 mins to soften the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and add some chili flakes if desired.
-
Add in the garlic and cook another minute then add in the drained and rinsed white beans and cook for about 3 mins stirring constantly to break down some of the beans as this will thicken your soup and bring flavor into the beans.
-
Add the tomato paste and stir another minute before adding the white wine to deglaze your pot and scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom.
-
Add the vegetable stock, bay leaves, thyme and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover and cook 45 mins checking every 10 mins to adjust liquid and add water depending on how thick you want your soup. I usually add 1.5 cups.
-
Remove bay leaves, season with salt and pepper to your preference and serve with crusty bread to dip.
