This White Bean Tomato Soup is packed with flavor and is so easy to make. Full of fire-roasted tomatoes, veggies and white beans, it makes the perfect healthy weeknight meal that's ready in about 30 minutes! With all those veggies, it's comfort food that both vegans and omnivores will love!
Nothing says love in a bowl like some healthy, hearty soup.
I'm all about the soups whether it's chilly outside or not (because you ladies know what I'm talking about with that arctic air conditioning in the summer).
That's why I make soup all year long. BTW, if you're looking for some other tasty soups, check out my Roasted Tomato Chickpea Soup, Vegan Colcannon Soup, Creamy Vegetable Soup in the Instant Pot, and Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder).
A Healthy, Easy-To-Make Soup
Today I'm sharing this White Bean Tomato Soup from my friend Melanie McDonald new cookbook, Vegan Comfort Cooking.
You probably know Mel from her popular blog, A Virtual Vegan. Her recipes are so amazingly delicious and have that cozy quality missing in a lot of cooking today.
This soup is so flavorful and I'll tell you, it's even better heated up the next day!
It's a no-fuss yet home-cooked soup that will have the whole family asking for seconds!

I made a big pot, had some for dinner, some for lunch the next day and then froze some for a quick meal when I'm short on time and need something fast (but still healthy).

📖 Recipe
White Bean Tomato Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or water)
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 ribs of celery finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or chipotle powder
- .5 teaspoon cumin
- .25 cup tomato paste
- 27 oz canned chopped fire roasted tomatoes
- 2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- .5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups vegetable broth/stock
- 1 tablespoon cane or granulated white sugar
- 4.5 cups white kidney, cannellini or lima beans drained and rinse
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or water (for oil-free cooking) over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery for about 10 minutes, until they are starting to go golden brown. If you are using water to sauté, you will need to add a little more water every few minutes to prevent the onion and celery from sticking.
- Add the garlic, smoked paprika and cumin and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add all the other ingredients. Stir well to combine, allow to come to a simmer and cook for another 20 minutes. Add a little water to adjust the consistency to your liking,check the seasoning and adjust to taste; then serve.
- I like the soup chunky,but you can use an immersion blender right in the pan to make it smoother and creamier, if you want to.
