Method
Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, then cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cooking
- Mix in the drained beans, cubed potatoes, tomato paste, rosemary sprig, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
- Add the dry white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits, then simmer for 1 minute.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the frozen spinach, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Finishing
- Remove the rosemary sprig, then press some of the beans and potatoes against the side of the pot to thicken the soup while keeping some pieces whole.
Serving
- Spoon the white bean soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, olive oil drizzle, and fresh cracked pepper.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread.
Notes
Mash only part of the beans and potatoes to create a creamy soup while keeping a rustic texture with some pieces intact.
