Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cans (28 oz / 800 g) cannellini or white beans, drained

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 1 celery stalk, diced

  • 1 large carrot, diced

  • 1–2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled & chopped

  • 1 cup (200 g) frozen spinach (optional but adds color & nutrients)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) white wine

  • 1 sprig rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh / ½ tsp dried)

  • 2 cups (500 ml) vegetable broth or hot water

  • ½ tsp paprika (optional)

  • ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste

  • ⅛ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté Veggies: Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook 5 minutes until softened.

  • Add Flavor: Stir in garlic, beans, tomato paste, potatoes, rosemary, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute.

  • Deglaze: Pour in white wine; stir and let it simmer until mostly evaporated (about 1 minute).

  • Simmer: Add spinach, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer 15 minutes until potatoes are tender and soup is creamy.

  • Finish: Remove rosemary sprig. Adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper.

  • Serve: Ladle into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and top with cracked black pepper or Parmesan (if not vegan).

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, mash some beans before serving.

  • Skip the wine if preferred — just add a splash more broth.

  • A squeeze of lemon or sprinkle of chili flakes adds a fresh twist.
