A comforting bowl of hot white bean soup served on a cold chilly night served along with garlic bread is the perfect dinner idea.


This is a straightforward bean soup you can fix under 30mins or less and that too just 1 pot dinner fix, isn't that great! I love how easy this soup is, plus if you like thick and creamy soup then make this white bean soup recipe creamy by pureeing some beans and adding the puree to make this soup creamy, which skips the cream so it's - healthy!


If you think that beans are boring then this soup will make you think otherwise! You can make this creamy bean soup vegan by skipping parmesan too.
