Italian White Bean Soup

April 18, 2017

  • 22

No matter what time of year it is, in my house it’s ALWAYS time for SOUP!   

I have loved soup FOREVER,

my mom would make a large pot of soup when I was young and I would just devour it.

If we didn’t have homemade soup, I would eat it out of a can.

Every day after school!

Really, I certainly had a few favorites.

Campbells used to make a wonton soup and it really was my all time favorite.

I haven’t seen it in years. I do make a really easy wonton soup, but no need to spend the time wrapping wontons.

It’s even called Inside Out Wonton Soup. It’s always a huge hit with everyone especially my own little soup lover, who by the way is not so little anymore.

This soup is a brand new favorite.

The flavors will surprise you.

It’s not an ordinary bean soup.

I love that the soup is not heavy even though it’s lightly creamy,  it’s full of beans, spinach, has great flavor with onions and celery and is full of spinach.

Now the kicker it doesn’t only have Italian flavors, you squeeze fresh LEMON on top of it.

Oh, my goodness, why haven’t I done that each time I made it.
It really made the soup over the top yummy!

I also topped it with some grated Romano Cheese.

There is a bonus to this soup, it’s really delicious chunky, or creamy!

Just pop your immersion blender into the pot or into the individual bowl of whoever likes smooth soup.

Topping the soup off with a couple of yummy items really makes it outstanding.

This soup offers 6-8 servings depending on the size portion your serve.

    This soup sounds good, but it doesn’t seem like the directions to make it are complete……

      sorry about that, the area of instructions seems to have a glitch and didn’t publish completely. I’ve updated it, and hope there is no longer a problem. Thanks for letting me know there was a problem.
