Beans make a great base for soups and when pureed they make soups nice and smooth and creamy, in a light and healthy way! Beans are also pantry friendly whether dried or canned and I always have them on hand. This white bean soup is so easy to make and the flavour combination of the roasted garlic, rosemary and parmesan is simply divine! Roasting garlic mellows out it’s flavour in a magical way and it’s so easy! Other than roasting the garlic this soup takes less than 30 minutes to make, making for one quick meal or side, especially if you roasted the garlic the day before! I like to serve this rosemary and roasted garlic white bean soup topped with bacon!

This is my first attempt at making soup, and I loved two things about this recipe:
1) it is delicious
2) it is super quick and easy
Made the recipe with vegetable broth and topped each bowl with a little smoked paprika and a bit more grated parm. Thank you. This recipe is a keeper.
