SIMPLE WHITE BEAN AND PESTO SOUP



Simple White Bean and Pesto Soup image

With a loaf of crusty bread on hand, this recipe will have dinner on the table in five minutes. When you have so few ingredients, the quality must be impeccable. If you have homemade chicken stock, now is the time to use it. You could use a heaping tablespoon of pre-made pesto, but the pine nuts and Parmesan can be distracting from the subtle flavors of the beans. This simplified pesto couldn't be easier.

Tips:

  • Use Dried White Beans: Dried beans are more economical and healthier than canned beans. Remember to soak them overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in olive oil enhances their flavor and adds depth to the soup.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary add a wonderful aroma and flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Beans: Overcooked beans can become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Add Parmesan Rind: Adding a Parmesan rind to the soup while it simmers infuses it with a rich, cheesy flavor. Remove the rind before serving.
  • Make Your Own Pesto: Homemade pesto is always best. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use store-bought pesto, but choose one made with fresh basil.

Conclusion:

This white bean and Parmesan soup with pesto is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The creamy texture of the beans, the savory flavor of the Parmesan, and the bright freshness of the pesto combine to create a soup that is both comforting and flavorful. You can add more vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini, Serve it with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
