Vegan cannellini vegetable soup
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 1 large carrot diced
- 1 large leek sliced
- 3 garlic cloves crushed or grated
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 750 ml vegetable broth
- 2 tins cannellini beans drained
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme for garnish
- Freshly toasted bread to serve optional
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, for about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced carrot and sliced leeks, and stir regularly until all ingredients have softened and lightly caramelized. You can sprinkle a little salt into the saucepan to speed things up.
- Add the minced or grated garlic and once fragrant, stir in the dried thyme. Toss everything to coat the veggies in the herb and after heating through for a minute, pour in the vegetable stock.
- Bring everything to a simmer, then add a lid to the saucepan and reduce the heat. Let everything simmer for 5-8 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
- Add in the drained cannellini beans, and once heated through, use a stick blender to blend roughly ¼ of the soup to give it a creamy texture. Stir well, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, garnish the soup with fresh thyme and enjoy alongside a slice of freshly toasted bread.
