Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cups cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cannellini beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup partially, leaving some beans and vegetables for texture. Alternatively, you can transfer 2 cups of the soup to a traditional blender, puree it, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and baby spinach. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the soup warm, optionally garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs.
