One of the BEST Pantry Staple Winter Soup Recipes

This white bean and lemon soup recipe is a fantastic pantry-staple meal!  It uses almost all ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards.  You probably already have a lot of these ingredients on hand!  Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and healthy meals using a few staples you can rotate. 

I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep on hand. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple recipes on TheHerbeevore.com here.  By stocking up on healthy whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!

What’s In This White Bean and Lemon Soup?

I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market  – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!

• Olive Oil: I like to use ZOE brand olive oil which has a really great flavor and beautiful rich color. I buy it online here which is a really inexpensive! It’s a great value olive oil for the quality you get.
• Onion
• Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s super convenient to have pre-minced garlic on hand in the fridge for quick meal prep.
• Carrots
• Celery
• White Beans: I only used low sodium canned white beans, like these. Using low or no salt canned beans allows you to control the amount of sodium in your food for a healthier soup!
• Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I use Better than Bouillon’s low sodium vegetable base, which has a fantastic flavor and is great in soups, stews, and curries.
• Thyme: I pick fresh thyme from our yard, but would recommend this really nice thyme if you don’t have fresh.
• Salt: I like to use pink Himalayan sea salt – my brother got me these great anti-gravity salt and pepper grinders as a gift, and they are actually amazing!
• Kale
• Lemon Juice: fresh squeezed if you have it, or I like this pantry staple lemon powder if you don’t have fresh!

How Do I Make This Lemon White Bean Stew Recipe?

1. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté over low heat for 7 to 8 minutes until Vegetables become translucent.
2. Add the white beans, Vegetable stock, thyme, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cooking over low heat for 30 minutes. Stir in the kale and lemon juice, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and taste, adding more salt if needed.
4.  For a thicker soup, you can add 2 cups to a blender, puree, and add the puree back into the soup pot.
5. Serve with a thick slice of crusty bread, and enjoy!
