To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have creamy white bean soup using 12 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Creamy White Bean Soup:
  1. Take 4 slices uncooked thick sliced bacon
  2. Take 2 stalks celery, diced
  3. Get 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
  4. Take 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  5. Take 3 cloves garlic, minced
  6. Make ready 2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  7. Prepare 3 cups unsalted chicken broth
  8. Get 1/2 cup half and half (or heavy cream)
  9. Prepare 1/2 tsp. each salt, dried rosemary
  10. Take 1/4 tsp. each dried thyme, pepper
  11. Take 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  12. Make ready 2 packed cups roughly torn kale

Add the chard to the soup mixture and once it is tender, pour the mixture into your blender and puree until smooth. Add the garlic and cook for another few minutes. Add the beans, broth, rosemary, salt & pepper. Being in somewhat of a soup mood the last couple of weeks, I thought a recipe with white beans as the star of the show was the way to go.

Steps to make Creamy White Bean Soup:
  1. Start by dicing up the bacon. The easiest way to do this is to pop the slices in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, until it firms up, then take it out and snip it with some sharp kitchen shears. Hands down, this is the easiest way to cut up raw bacon.
  2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the chopped bacon until it is browned and crispy. Then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a towel lined plate, but leave about 1 tbsp. of the drippings in the pot. Add the celery, onion and carrot to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften up, about 5 or so minutes. Then add the garlic and cook another minute or so, until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained beans, broth, cream and seasonings to the pot and give it all a good stir. Let it come up to a low boil. Then reduce the heat down a bit and let everything simmer for about 20 or so minutes. At this point, taste it and add any additional seasonings that you think it needs.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to give the soup a couple of quick blitzes, until it's your desired consistency. Or you could just blend half the soup in a blender, then stir it back in. Then immediately stir in the parmesan cheese, the cooked bacon and the kale. Once the greens wilt into the soup, you're ready to serve.

I grabbed some bacon, shallots, and chicken stock and I was on my way to making a fantastic white bean soup. I added just the slightest bit of heavy cream to give it a rich and creamy texture. Add the chicken stock and white beans and bring to a boil. When the soup is hot, remove the bacon bundle and blend the soup, either using an immersion blender or a standard blender (if using the latter, do so in two small batches, then return to the pot). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
