Tuscan White Bean Soup

Tuscan White Bean Soup with vegetables – The easiest, most flavorful soup recipe. Made with sautéed vegetables, tomatoes, white beans, in a hearty tomato & vegetable broth!  Perfect for a healthy dinner or lunch –  make this in a regular pot or instant pot/slow cooker. 

This Tuscan White Beans Soup is one of my favorites! It’s the kind of recipe that has everything but the kitchen sink in it – but that’s what I love about vegetable soups. This is a recipe Drew and I found ourselves making again and again.

This soup has tons of Italian herb flavor, is loaded with healthy vegetables, and satisfying protein-filled white beans. A one pot recipe, with one hour to make, and simply delicious results!

How to Make This Tuscan White Bean Soup – Step by Step

• Saute chopped onions, celery, and carrots with olive oil for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are soft.
• Add minced garlic and chopped zucchini – saute for 3 minutes. Then add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, and all of herbs + salt & pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Stir in cannellini beans and chopped kale, turn burner off and let sit for 5 minutes.

Make in an Instant Pot/Slow Cooker

This recipe is super easy to make in an instant pot or slow cooker. Place all of ingredients to pot (except kale) for slow cooker set for 2 hours on high or 3 to 5 hours on low. Pressure cooker set to 40 minutes on high – stir in kale at very end before serving.

Extra Tips For Making This Tuscan Kale and White Bean Soup

• If you don’t have kale or aren’t a fan of it you can swap for spinach. I’ve made this recipe many times with spinach and love it! If you are not a fan of leafy greens you can also leave them out.
• Season with fresh herbs – If you do not have fresh herbs dried work as well. You can also use a store-bought Italian seasoning blend to make it easier.
• Use high quality vegetable broth for more depth of flavor.
• Store your vegetable soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze.

This is a recipe my family and I have truly enjoyed and we all find ourselves making it often. If you’re a fan of vegetable soup like myself, you will love this flavorful, hearty recipe.
