Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Roasted Garlic Cloves
  • 4 cups Ripe Tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 2 cups White Beans (Cannellini or Great Northern)
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium Carrot, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme or Basil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut off the top of the garlic head, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, diced carrot, and celery. Sauté these vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become soft and fragrant.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: Once the aromatics are tender, add the roasted garlic cloves (squeezed from their skins!), ripe tomatoes, vegetable broth, and white beans to the pot. Stir well to combine everything together.
  4. Season the Soup: Add in the fresh thyme (or basil), and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Stir and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, enabling the flavors to meld beautifully. Adjust thickness by adding more broth or pureeing a portion for creaminess.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or fresh green salad. Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
