Fire Roasted White Bean Soup.
This fire roasted white bean soup is so easy and delicious. A base of fire roasted tomatoes in a parmesan broth, filled with creamy white beans, spinach and parmesan cheese. So simple and great for meal prep!
One more soup!!
Just one more. One more soup for you guys this season, because we are thisclose to spring! Not that we can’t eat soup in spring. I eat soup year round. But this specific soup is a cozy, comforting bowl that you’re more than likely to make when it’s cold out. Or rainy!
You know what I mean.
This bowl of creamy fire roasted tomatoes and white beans is studded with spinach and sprinkled with parmesan for the ultimate bite!
This is basically a vegetarian version of my fire roasted chicken tortellini soup – and it’s my favorite one so far. It has SO much flavor. So much satisfying texture. If you’re a huge fan of beans like I am – the buttery bite and the way they are so incredibly filling – then you will LOVE it.
Because it’s also EASY as heck.
You guys have been loving that chicken soup since I first shared it a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t wait to share this veggie version!
This is what we’ve got going on:
Fire roasted tomatoes.
A parmesan rind, to make my fave parmesan broth.
White beans – I like cannellini beans.
A touch of cream.
And a bunch of spinach! Fresh or frozen works.
Just like my chicken tortellini soup, this comes together FAST. It all starts with an onion and some garlic, because let’s be honest – what doesn’t? These major building blocks of flavor are everything. I add some dried herbs too for an extra punch.
I like to stir in some tomato paste. Just a touch, for richness and depth of flavor. Then comes the fire roasted tomatoes and the stock. You can use vegetable or chicken stock. I use whatever I have on hand!
Throw in the parmesan rind. Don’t forget! I store these in the freezer so I always have them on hand.
Once the soup simmers a bit, I stir in some cream, extra parmesan and lots of spinach.
Serve it up with lots of toasted sourdough and crushed red pepper and it.is.heaven.
Perfect for these March days where the sun is trying to peek through!

My husband loved it. Made it for our Christmas dinner. I do think the crushed red pepper was a key ingredient. And it definitely needed more salt. Now what I would do differently is add more substance. The broth to solids was off for me. Too much broth compared to beans and tomatoes so I would add another can of beans and more tomatoes.To cut calories I used half the heavy cream and added a small can of evaporated milk. Would make again with changes
When a friend posted on Facebook that she needed ideas for dinner, I scanned through the answers and found the link to this soup. I had it on my menu and prepared it within a couple of days. The day I made this was a cold, blustery, rainy day in early 2024. It truly was amazing. I served it with freshly made corn muffins and the entire dinner was a hit! I will make this again and the only changes I will make will be to puree the roasted tomatoes and possibly double the seasonings (except salt). I am not averse to the tomatoes but I noticed that they were not popular with a couple of people I served this to. Thank you for posting. I’ll be following you now:)
Delicious just as written. Next time I may modify a bit by blending some of the beans and tomatoes before adding the spinach and cream. I bet it would also be good with some Italian sausage. Great recipe with kitchen staples. Thanks for sharing!
Ran out of spinach so I subbed in kale but regardless, this soup was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be making again and with spinach! Thanks for sharing.
Loved this Soup!🍲I doubled the herbs, that is the only change I made. This will be on my next soup day! Thanks!❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
I am making this soup to pressure can as a base by leaving the cream, cheese and spinach out, then adding them back in when I heat up a jar. Milk products cannot be pressure canned safely, but can be added when the base is reheated after canning.
So delicious. I made it vegan by subbing about 3/4 cup homemade cashew cream for the heavy cream and a vegan parmesan. Instantly a favorite!
