Creamy Broccoli White Bean Soup

Prep Time: 20 Min
Cook Time: 40 - 45 Min

Yields: 4 Servings

What You Need

• 2 Tbsp. EVOO
• 2 Tbsp. Unslated Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, crushed & minced
• 1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 Yellow Onion, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 1 Head Broccoli, cut in to florets (approx. 4 Cups)
• 540ml Salt-Free White Beans, drained & rinsed
• 1 C White Wine ( I used Pinot Grigio)
• 3 1/2 C Plant-Based Chik'n Broth ( I used Ocean's Halo)
• 1 Tsp. Clubhouse Garlic Plus Seasoning
• 1 Tsp. Onion Powder
• 1 Tsp. Vegeta Seasoning
• 1/4 C Fresh Parsley, chopped
• Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper
• GARNISH - Pepper Flakes, Shredded Old Cheddar, Crushed Ritz Crackers, Sour Cream, Parsley

Directions

• Begin heating the EVOO, butter, garlic, and pepper flakes, in deep non-stick skillet set to just below medium. Once heated, stir and let everything sizzle together for about a minute. Add the celery, onion, and a good pinch of both salt & pepper. Stir and let those veggies cook 6 - 8 minutes until they're almost soft. Add the broccoli florets and another good pinch of salt. Chop the stalk of the broccoli and add that as well. Stir and cook another 5 minutes. Stir in the white beans along with another pinch of salt and continue to cook another couple of minutes until the beans are warmed through.​

​

• Pour in your wine and let the wine cook for a few minutes until reduced by at least half. Pour in the broth and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiled, reduce the heat to medium low & stir in the Clubhouse Garlic plus, vegeta, onion powder, and parsley. Cover with a titled lid and simmer 20 - 25 minutes.
• Transfer the soup to your blender ( I use a Vitamix which can easily handle hot liquids) and puree until smooth and velvety. Alternately, you could blend in batches or use an immersion blender if needed. Once the soup is smooth, pour it back in to the skillet and let it start bubbling again. Taste your soup and adjust your salt / pepper if needed / desired.
• I enjoyed the soup being nice and thick. You could at this point thin it out with additional broth if desired. Serve your soup with some / all of the recommended garnishes. ENJOY!
• Refrigerate leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 4 days. When reheating, you may want to add additional broth for consistency.
