How to Make Fire Roasted White Bean Soup
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, seasoning generously with kosher salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to soften and become translucent.
- Stir in the tomato paste along with the dried basil, oregano, and thyme. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomato paste deepens in color and develops a rich aroma.
- Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, rinsed cannellini beans, stock, and the parmesan rind to the pot. Bring everything to a boil before reducing it to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for 20 minutes, removing the lid for the last 10 minutes.
- Combine the heavy cream, finely grated parmesan cheese, and fresh spinach into the mixture. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often until the cheese melts and the spinach wilts. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the soup hot, garnishing each bowl with extra parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for an added kick.

Notes
Optional: Add a swirl of basil pesto for an extra burst of flavor! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; the soup will deepen in flavor over time.
