Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth (or 1 cube vegetable bouillon dissolved in 2 cups hot water)
2 cups small white beans (canned or cooked)
1 (13 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, chopped (packed in water, drained)
1 roasted red pepper, chopped and drained (packed in water)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
lemon juice (one small lemon's worth)
2 sage leaves, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper

Steps:

In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion in the olive oil until translucent (approx. 3-5 minutes).
Add the pepper, artichoke hearts, garlic, salt, roasted red pepper, sage, and bay leaf. Stir for 1 minute.
Add the vegetable broth and beans. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for five minutes or until the beans are heated through. In batches, transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth, or use an immersion blender right in the pot.

Tips:

Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
Use a variety of beans: This will give the soup a more complex flavor and texture. For example, you could use a combination of white beans, kidney beans, and black beans.
Add vegetables to the soup: This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
Use a good quality broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. If you don't have any homemade broth on hand, you can use store-bought low-sodium broth.
Season the soup to taste: This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar for a bit of brightness.
Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Artichoke and white bean soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans and artichokes. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
