Butter Bean Soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans of butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Stir in the butter beans, vegetable broth, thyme, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup to create a creamy texture while leaving some whole beans for added texture. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer half of the soup to a regular blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
  6. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with crusty bread for a complete meal.
