I only like soups when they are blended; this one is a wonderful orange color. This recipe was inspired by a recipe in Vegan with a Vengeance.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful than canned beans and they're also more economical. If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Great Northern beans, cannellini beans, and kidney beans all work well in this soup.
  • Use fresh artichokes: Fresh artichokes are the best choice for this soup, but you can also use frozen or canned artichokes if you're in a pinch.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this soup should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: This soup is pretty forgiving when it comes to seasoning, so feel free to add more or less of the spices and herbs that you like.

Conclusion:

This white bean and artichoke soup is a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans and artichokes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try.
