👩🍳 Expert Tips
- The starch from the potatoes is what makes the broth thicker. If you omit the potatoes, you will need to add a cool water/cornstarch mixture to thicken it.
- To make the soup creamier, add in 1/3 cup of heavy cream or dairy supplement if vegan. It’s going to be rich and creamy!
- The white bean soup pairs nicely with some grated parmesan cheese on top and some crusty bread.
🥄 Recipe FAQs
Check out some of the common questions about this white bean spinach soup.
Sure! Kale is a nutritious option and cooks similar to spinach. You will need to follow the same directions and saute it until it’s wilted some, then you can indulge.
I prefer canned white beans because there isn’t anything I need to do with them. However, you can totally make dried beans if you would rather.
You will need to pre-cook them before adding them to the soup, or they won’t be done.
Let the soup cool down all the way and store it in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When freezing, you will need to thaw it in the fridge overnight.
You can either place it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for a couple of minutes or heat it over medium heat in a saucepan.
Both are great options, so do whatever fits your schedule.
Yep! Add in cooked chicken, Italian sausage, or shredded turkey to get some extra protein.
Great northern beans or even cannellini beans are a great option when it calls for white beans. Use whichever pean you prefer in this soup.
You do not need to drain and rinse the beans. Just toss it in juice and all.
