Origin Creamy Italian White Bean Soup

White bean soups have been a staple in Italian cuisine for centuries, often found in rustic Tuscan and Roman kitchens. Traditionally made with cannellini or Great Northern beans, these soups highlight simple yet rich flavors using fresh herbs, olive oil, and slow-simmered broths.

What I Love About This Recipe

This soup is incredibly creamy without needing heavy cream, thanks to blended white beans. It’s a perfect balance of comfort and nutrition, filling yet light. Plus, it’s a one-pot dish that’s easy to make with pantry staples.
