Heat the Oil

  • Place a large pot on medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm gently. Do not overheat the oil. This helps keep flavors fresh and balanced.

Cook Onion and Garlic

  • Add chopped onion to the pot. Cook for 4 minutes until soft. Then add garlic and cook for one minute. Stir well to avoid burning.

Add Beans and Tomatoes

  • Now add white beans and diced tomatoes. Mix everything well. Let it cook for 2 minutes. This helps blend the flavors together nicely.

Pour in Broth

  • Add vegetable broth slowly. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. This forms the base of your soup.

Add Spices

  • Add oregano, salt, black pepper and chili flakes. Stir well. Reduce heat to low. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes to develop flavor.

Blend the Soup

  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup. Blend until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, cool slightly before blending.

Add Final Touch

  • Add lemon juice and fresh basil. Stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. This adds freshness and brightness.

Serve Warm

  • Turn off heat and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot with bread or crackers. Enjoy your Creamy White Bean & Tomato Soup Recipe.
