This Tuscan Pumpkin White Bean Soup is a nice, light meal. It’s a blended pumpkin and white bean soup, and it’s served with grated Parmesan cheese.
Tuscan Pumpkin White Bean Soup
Let me begin by telling you that this is a very simple soup recipe. There are only 5 main ingredients that are all simmered together for a few minutes. Then you’ll put the simmered soup into a blender or food processor and blend until velvety smooth. Blending is a great tactic for creating a thick texture to the soup. I personally feel like the grated cheese makes this soup complete. I love the tang of the Parmesan with the the smooth, velvety texture of the soup.
🛒Ingredients needed:
- onion
- canned pumpkin puree
- vegetable or chicken broth
- canned white beans
- oregano
- salt and pepper
- grated Parmesan
