Why You Will Love This Soup
- Easy - Thanks to jarred marinara sauce and the trusty blender, this soup could not be easier to make!
- Ready in 10 Minutes - This simple soup is a quick meal option for lunch or dinner.
- Tomato Soup Without Cream - Thanks to blended cannellini beans, this tomato soup is creamy without the need for any dairy.
Ingredients
- Prepared Marinara Sauce - My favorite brand is Raos, hands down. If you would like to use homemade, try my Basic Tomato Sauce, which is packed with flavor.
- Cannellini Beans - The blended beans make this soup beautifully luscious and creamy while adding nutritious, satiating value.
- Fresh Garlic - Because the ingredients are blended, there is no need to mince the garlic. Simply peel off the skin and throw it into the blender.
- Olive Oil - Improves the overall creamy texture of the soup, in addition to adding flavor. Ideally, use extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Chicken Broth - My go-to is always chicken broth, however, vegetable broth works great too. Use low-sodium broth for an even healthier bowl of soup.
- Seasonings - Dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Instructions
It all starts with prepared sauce, canned beans, and the hustle of the blender. Utilizing prepared items and the reliable blender eliminates additional steps and the need for added ingredients. The blender does most of the work for you.
STEP 1 - Place the marinara sauce, beans, garlic clove, and olive oil into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
STEP 2 - Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan. Whisk in the chicken broth and dried basil. Over medium-high heat, bring the soup to a simmer.
Once simmering, the soup is ready to eat!
Equipment You May Need
- Blender - I LOVE my Vitamix. It is 100-percent worth the investment!
- Immersion Blender - If you do not have a blender, use an Immersion Blender to blend the soup instead. It is a great tool to have in the kitchen.
- Small Saucepan - This soup fits in a small saucepan. This is the Saucepan that I have (as pictured).
Tips
USE FRESH BASIL - If you have fresh basil on hand, use it as a garnish. Thinly slice the fresh basil leaves and add to the top of each bowl of hot soup.
TO MAKE THIS RECIPE VEGETARIAN - Use vegetable broth. Chicken or vegetable stock also works well in this recipe, if that is all you have on hand.
USE ANY FORM OF BLENDER - If you do not have a blender, place the first ingredients into a pot and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. The soup will not be quite as smooth as would be with a blender, but still equally delicious!
PAIR WITH A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH - As if I need to tell you, pair this soup with a warm grilled cheese sandwich. Mind you, this sandwich does have dairy so if you are dairy-free use a dairy-free cheese.
