Best 4 Slow Cooker White Bean Parmesan Soup Recipes

SLOW COOKER WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Mince the garlic, dice the onion, slice the celery, and peel and slice the carrots. Add the olive oil, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots to a large (5qt or larger) slow cooker.
• Give the beans a quick rinse in a colander and then add them to the slow cooker, along with the bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and some freshly cracked pepper.
• Add six cups of water to the slow cooker and stir to combine the ingredients. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
• After 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, stir the soup and begin to mash the beans against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup. Once the soup is thickened to your liking, start adding salt to taste. Begin with 1/2 tsp and add more until the soup tastes flavorful to you. I used about 2 tsp total.
• Serve the soup hot with crackers or crusty bread for dipping.

SLOW-COOKER WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the beans, carrots, celery and garlic in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken broth, 1 cup water, the bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir well, cover and cook on low until the beans and vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 hours.
• Uncover and stir the soup. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and add to the soup along with the ham. Cover and cook on low until the corn is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chives and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaves. Divide among bowls and top with more chives.

PRESSURE COOKER WHITE BEAN-PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Using the sauté setting, heat the oil in the pot of a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Season generously with salt. Add the fennel and cook, stirring often, until the fennel is softened and the onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the celery, garlic, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the rosemary and the wine. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
• Add the stock, using 7 cups if you have a 6-quart pressure cooker or 8 cups if you have an 8-quart pressure cooker. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the beans, wheat berries and Parmesan rind. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Pressure cook on high for 70 minutes.
• Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes then release the remaining pressure manually. Taste the beans to make sure they are soft. If they are not as soft as you would like, cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Pressure cook on high for 10 more minutes and then quick-release the pressure.
• Before serving, remove and discard the rosemary sprigs. Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice and reserved fennel fronds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top generously with grated Parmesan.
