Canned white bean and vegetable soup is a quick version of bean soup that skips the lengthy soaking and cooking of dried beans. The base is chicken broth with potatoes, followed by onion, carrot, garlic, and tomato paste sautéed in butter. Sweet pepper, beans, and a bay leaf go in last. The soup serves four, and prep takes about 15 minutes.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Bring the broth to a boil and add the chopped potatoes. Meanwhile, sauté the chopped onion and grated carrot in the butter, then add the garlic and tomato paste.

  2. Transfer the mixture to the pot, add the chopped sweet pepper, and cook for 7 minutes. Then add the beans, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and cook until the beans are tender.

  3. Tip: Use a pressure cooker to make the soup even faster.

Tip: Drain the canned beans and rinse them in a strainer under cold water, since the canning liquid can be salty and would make the soup cloudy.
