Equipment

  • large soup pot
  • wooden spoon
  • cutting board and knife
  • Immersion blender or countertop blender
  • ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 small zucchini, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cans (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups low-sodium gluten-free broth (vegetable or chicken)
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 1 handful chopped kale or spinach (optional)
  • squeeze fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • to serve grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, carrots, and celery and cook for another 5 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Add thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, and bay leaf. Stir in the chopped zucchini and mix well to coat with spices.
  • Pour in the white beans and gluten-free broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook gently for 20–25 minutes.
  • For a creamier soup, blend a portion using an immersion blender or regular blender and return to the pot. This step is optional.
  • Stir in chopped kale or spinach. Simmer for 5 more minutes until greens are wilted. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Ladle into bowls. Top with cracked pepper, olive oil drizzle, and Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Optional additions: stir in greens like kale or spinach at the end, or finish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness. For a heartier version, add shredded chicken or Italian turkey sausage. This soup freezes beautifully.
