Time 8h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups dried cannellini beans, picked over and rinsed
3 carrots, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 15-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ears corn, shucked
4 ounces Black Forest ham, diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the beans, carrots, celery and garlic in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken broth, 1 cup water, the bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir well, cover and cook on low until the beans and vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 hours.

2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)
4 cloves garlic ($0.32)
3 15oz. cans cannellini beans ($1.47)

Provided by Beth - Budget Bytes

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)
4 cloves garlic ($0.32)
1 yellow onion ($0.11)
4 carrots (about 1/2 lb.) ($0.30)
4 ribs celery ($0.46)
1 lb. dry navy beans* ($1.25)
1 bay leaf ($0.30)
1 tsp dried rosemary ($0.10)
1/2 tsp dried thyme ($0.05)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika ($0.05)
Freshly cracked black pepper (15-20 cranks of a pepper mill) ($0.05)
6 cups water ($0.00)
2 tsp salt, or to taste ($0.05)

Steps:

  • Mince the garlic, dice the onion, slice the celery, and peel and slice the carrots. Add the olive oil, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots to a large (5qt or larger) slow cooker.
  • Give the beans a quick rinse in a colander and then add them to the slow cooker, along with the bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and some freshly cracked pepper.
  • Add six cups of water to the slow cooker and stir to combine the ingredients. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  • After 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, stir the soup and begin to mash the beans against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup. Once the soup is thickened to your liking, start adding salt to taste. Begin with 1/2 tsp and add more until the soup tastes flavorful to you. I used about 2 tsp total.
  • Serve the soup hot with crackers or crusty bread for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans: Dried beans are much cheaper than canned beans, and they're just as easy to use. Just be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to soup. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or tomatoes.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Seasonings are what really make soup flavorful. Be sure to use a variety of spices, herbs, and other flavorings, such as garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, or bay leaves.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked soup is mushy and bland. Cook the soup just until the beans are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: A bowl of soup is even better when it's served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This white bean soup recipe is a delicious, budget-friendly, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a busy weeknight or a lazy weekend. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
