Comforting, hearty bean soup is filling and satisfying. When you puree the tender beans, you get a creamy, ultra-comforting bowl of goodness, without an ounce of dairy. You save steps by simply pureeing the spinach with the hot beans, so you don’t even need to chop it.
Here is our suggested soup recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (104g) dried navy beans, soaked overnight
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 cups (113g) spinach
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions to prepare the soup:
Soak the navy beans overnight, then drain. In a 2-quart pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and stir until the onions start to sizzle. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups (475ml) water and the drained beans and raise the heat to bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low to simmer the beans. Cook for about 45 minutes.
When the beans are tender, transfer the contents of the pan to a blender. Add the spinach and Dijon mustard and secure the lid. Hold a folded kitchen towel over the lid to keep the hot liquids in as you blend. Puree until the beans are smooth and the spinach is minced.
Pour back in the pan and heat, if necessary. Serve hot.
