Easy Rosemary Garlic White Bean Soup

A splendid recipe ! Added a yellow onion, two green onions, fresh coriander, some paprika and cumin. Turned out perfect!

Very good. However, I accidentally made it too salty. So I added a can of corn, worked out well.

This was extremely filling, good, and easy to make.

Easy to make and delicious

I added carrots, mushrooms and potatoes to mine for more carbs but overall delicious!

Next time, add rosemary and thyme separately instead of using a mix. It was too much thyme. Other than that, very tasty with some toasted bread.

Was great! No notes. My family enjoyed so much I was asked for it again. Very cheap, tasty and vegan too. It's a win-win-win!!!

Triple the seasoning, including the bullion and garlic. Added onion, spinach, corn, and a splash of milk. Great with crunchy bread! Add Italian seasoning.

I added onions to mine, but this is such a good, easy, and warming soup. 1000/10

Added carrots and radish

Added red pepper chili flakes, sub 1 can kidney beans, add onion and carrots. Good and super simple to make, great with crunchy bread!

Very bland almost water flavor. I added lots of onion and used fresh rosemary and thyme. Still had a spacle water consistency. The rosemary came out,after the soup had time for the flavors to meld over night and with a reheat. Still not good enough to make again. Maybe a different bean could help.

Pretty bland but it's a good base to really jazz up. I ended up adding ricotta, parmasan, diced tomatoes, spinach and added lemon juice and red pepper flakes at the end.

Not for me, really quite bland even with spices and added onion/celery more garlic.

Added onions

Added onions and potatoes

Added ham to mine, makes it salty but very delicious. Need a way to make it thicker

We used an immersion blender to get a thicker soup, overall it was great.

Extra spices and some garlic.

The finished soup was good, it was filling while still light, but I had to make some adjustments. After reading some reviews, I went ahead and added an extra can of beans, half of it was blended and the other half added to the pot, right out of the gate, and also adjusted the herbs/spices a bit. I still found it thin enough to thicken it with corn starch (made a slurry using a small amount of broth). I don't think it altered the taste, but it increased the cooking time by a few minutes. I also added some cooked and chopped bacon at the end to placate my husband, and I think it tasted great.

I’ve thrown out the whole pot. Definitely not making again

Next time I think I'll sauté some onions with the garlic. I used fresh rosemary and thyme. I'm glad. I think it would have been too bland otherwise, but it still needed a little something, hence trying the onions. I'll double the recipe next time for more leftovers. Big plus is that it's super easy and healthy!

Doubled the spices like other said, used low sodium chicken broth. Turned out great!

Surprisingly a lot of taste. I find that two cups of broth were a bit too much and maybe I'd blend two cans of beans instead of one to make it thicker.

Amazingly simple soup to make! I didn't have fresh herbs, so I ended up using dried Italian herb blend instead.

Easy to make it for lazy ppl like me for breakfast

Double recipe. Double herbs. Use 1 lbs ground sausage. Puree 2-3 cans of beans (1-2 cans with juices). Add large onion (diced).

Good albeit a little bland.

Pleasantly surprised with the results! Super easy to whip up on a cold day - had everything on hand and packed a lot of flavor with just a few ingredients. We added some frozen chopped spinach and a little extra garlic. Finished with a sprinkle of parmesan on top and some toasted bread on the side - very satisfying.

I followed with others and added more spices. You really cannot go wrong with this recipe. I also added some chicken, carrots, onion, & celery. My husband, who usually turns his nose up at soup, ate 2 large bowls and was disappointed there wasn't more. Made some tasty garlic bread to go with it.

I actually would not give this a thumbs up or down; it's kind of middle ground. I recommend to use half the amount of rosemary because it is too overpowering. Unless you love the taste, but I recommend adding a little at a time.

Spices listed are definitely on the light side and make sure to use a good broth or else this can be bland.

Doubled spices as another reviewer suggested. I would also put the rosemary and time in the oil after the garlic instead of later as instructed.

Double your spices

I had to substitute a few things including using beef instead of chicken/vegetable stock due to what I have. Due to this I added no salt, utilized oregano instead of thyme, and add a bit of brown sugar to help tone down the taste of the strong seasonings I used. Also diced and sweated some onions which was nice. I used several different kinds of beans as well. Overall, the soup was good and versatile.

Double spice add carrots and onion

Double the spices or it is bland.

Really easy to make! I had some bacon I need to use up, so I added it, but you couldn't really taste it

I loved the soup. I did take the suggestions of others and add chopped onion and carrots, a little more spice, and since I didn’t have kale I added some spinach at the end. It tasted even better the next couple of days. Will definitely make again!

AMAZING!!!!!!!

I made mirepoix to start the soup, sautéed garlic in a separate pan then added to the mirepoix sautéing with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Tastes good with Pain de Campagne with butter.

Decent. Did almost double the herbs and add carrots and onions, as comments recommended. Also added collard greens I already had, but kale would probably be better, and I think I'll add celery next time.

Good with garlic bread

I added more garlic in powder as well as some salt for my liking:) I love blander food, so def add more seasoning or a veggie if you don’t.

Added some onion and carrots. Kicked up the spice with some extra crushed red pepper. Didn't have any rosemary, so I subbed oregano. It tasted awesome. Double the recipe so we would have leftovers. Next time, I will either add more beans or less broth because it was a bit "soupier" than my household prefers. But we served it with the NoraCooks vegan cornbread and it was still a major hit!!

read notes, add bits

Excellent recipe just as written. Delicious! Also very easy to customize.

Yummy soup! However it is plain. I added lots of extra seasonings and some shredded carrot and that really helped! I blended about a cup of the soup and added it back to make it thicker, with some fresh bread to dip its delicious! Add extra garlic for better flavor, though.

In addition, I added some chicken, spinach, onion powder, and garlic powder (since I forgot to buy garlic). It was really good but I had to add in about twice the amount of seasonings. The soup also tastes good with garlic bread too. I will definitely make it again in the future.

As several have mentioned, the recipe shown here is an excellent base to experiment with. This time I chose to add chicken and broccoli (because it’s what I had on hand). If you’d like to follow my lead, I suggest: 1. Add 1lb of chopped chicken (two breasts) to the med-high heated pot after adding olive oil. Give the pieces time to brown flip and brown the other side. 2. After adding the garlic and giving it time to heat, start adding the other ingredients starting with a small amount of stock. Take some time to scrape any fond left on the bottom of the pot, then added the rest. 3. After bringing everything to a boil and removing the lid, add the broccoli to cook for the remaining 15 min. I’ll definitely be cooking this again! You’re really only limited by your imagination here.

I added some kale and would add more garlic next time - lovely!

A good inexpensive dish that can be easily adjusted to suit your own tastes. I double the herbs. I serve alongside cornbread with some scallions/jalapeños. I also like to fry some sliced smoked sausage and add it in or whatever might be leftover from another dinner.

Okay

Used roasted garlic plant broth... creamier. Threw one of the kids off, but others wanted to do again.

Filling soup. Made it to eat throughout the week so I would hopefully stay full throughout the day. I agree that it would also be a great base.

I added bacon and red onions onion powder garlic powder and fresh thyme next time I’ll triple the recipe !

it's delicious, but only once

l think this recipe could benefit from the addition of some bacon, but even without it was hearty and yummy. Added the requisite jalapenos and those jazzed it up nicely also added carrots and celery. It was really good paired with some warm toasty bread.

Simple but yummy.

Delicious and easy. I also added celery and carrot, and used chilli flakes as I didn’t have red pepper flakes. I also bought two tins of butter beans and just one of haricot but that was fine Really hearty soup - very filling.

Added extra salt, rosemary, olive oil on top, and crushed red pepper flakes. It was hearty warm and good for a cold winter night

This tasted good and was very easy to make. I would definitely make this again but would double the recipe at minimum, as the servings were rather small. As written, I think it would make a great base for a more substantial soup by adding onions, carrots, and celery and probably some potatoes or rice.

Fantastic recipe. Bursting with flavour.

We added some broccoli! It would have been a lot better with some bacon and some other vegetables thrown In

Really tasty. I finely chopped some onions to add at same time as the garlic then added some chopped courgette a little while after the beans. Also added a touch of cumin .....just because I ❤️ it 😄 Oh and as I prefer thinner consistency soups I only pureed about just over a half of one of the tins of beans. I used a mix of white Cannellini and Haricot too.

I loved this! I added minced carrot, celery and kale. This recipe has so much potential for added ingredients! Definitely will be an easy go to item in the house when we're feeling like a quick meal!

This dish is Absolutely DELICIOUS added ham on my boyfriends accord definitely a must try!!! Side note. I downloaded this app because I was sick of making the same old food an I am so happy with my first try

This recipe was delicious, especially with some cornbread! 😋

As other mentioned, this is quite garlicky in flavour, I think two cloves would be sufficient. This also makes enough for about three people as a meal, or at least it makes three bowls. It did need some salt since my broth was low sodium, but was quite tasty. In future, I'd double the recipe to make enough for leftovers.

Great! Tastes like the one from Zoe’s Kitchen! I would maybe add a bit of lemon and zest to it for some acidity, but that’s just my preference. Would make again.

Would use a little less garlic. I use the soup as a base and added ham

Doesn't look great, but it tastes pretty good. Simple, cheap (especially if you get a good deal on canned beans) and an easy way to use up almost any vegetable in your fridge (just chop it up and throw it in). I made mine with onions and potatoes. I recommend adding a splash of wine and some dried chilli, definitely made it taste better. Also no need to blend anything, the beans/bean water does thicken it up quite a bit.

A good base recipe. Easily modified to include whatever else you may have on hand, like sausage, onion, frozen spinach, chopped carrot, etc... or make it as written, it's still delicious!

I great easy soup to make on a cold day. I would use about half the amount of garlic next time and I am a garlic lover but it kind of over powers the soup.

I'll go a bit heavier on spices and easier on garlic next time, but otherwise a very nice dish.

This recipe was really good. It seemed like a nice starter. I think next time I'll try cooking some red peppers in this. But I will definitely be cooking it again. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Great easy, hearty soup. I did not mash any beans at the end of cooking, I let the soup simmer for longer than recipe called for as we had someone visiting, thought the soup was plenty thick when I was ready to serve it.

Very tasty. Instead of dried rosemary, flash fried rosemary in the olive oil and scooped it out before cooking the garlic, then used to top when finished.

This was really fast and tested pretty good. The flavor is light so it's probably better as a spring or summer soup. If make it again though (with more garlic and spices)

So easy and delicious!! Probably should have read reviews-will add carrots, celery, and potatoes next time. Threw in some gourmet croutons since I did not have any crusty bread!!

I added ham and it was awesome!

I added potatoes and more seasoning (cumin, sage, and paprika)

I sautéed some carrot and celery. As well as the stock I added milk to make it more creamy and I blended half of it before adding more beans. Topped it off with store bought crispy onions. I also added small elbow pasta! So I used this recipe as a basis? Still good though.

Add can of stewed tomatoes and saute celery with onion.

I did add 2T bacon bits. Very yummy

Added onion and carrots so I added a bit more of the broth and spices

It was good but I felt like there wasn't any substance to it. Next time I think I'll add either carrots or potatoes.

It was ok, I feel like it needs a little something extra to make it less boring. But it was still tasty!

Really cheap, really easy, super tasty!

Tasty, quick weeknight meal. I added onions.

Added mushrooms

Tasted great. Thanks for sharing recipe!

Can be a good side too with smaller recipe.

So easy and so delicious! Will make again!

so good! I did a mix of pinto and cannelli beans, added extra red pepper flakes, and some tajin. very filling and satisfying!

it needed some improvement on spices, but maybe that was because i had to replace some.
