CREAMY Tomato White Bean Soup | Heartwarming 30 Minute Recipe

This creamy tomato white bean soup is the perfect dish for any time of the year. But it’s extra special during the cooler weather, as it promises to warm your soul. Either way, it’s filled with flavors, made with basic pantry staples, and done in just 30 minutes using one pot. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine for a fabulous meal.

To make this recipe, I used jarred white beans, which are the same thing as the canned ones. The ones I used were typical Spanish white beans, but you can use any type of white beans you like. And if you prefer dried beans, just soak them in plenty of water overnight. Then simmer them the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until just tender.

What gives this soup its creamy texture is making a roux. Then you add in chicken broth and milk and gently mix together until creamy. You can also use vegetable broth if you like. As for the milk, I used low-fat, but any type of milk can be used, including plant-based milk. Either way, make sure it’s at room temperature; otherwise, it can easily curdle.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: This soup will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge and freeze for up to 3 months in an air-tight container. When reheating, add in more liquid as needed to bring back the creaminess. And remember to use a low heat; otherwise, the creamy texture can easily curdle.
