Creamy White Bean & Bacon Spinach Soup

Print Recipe

A rich and comforting soup made with white beans, bacon, and spinach, finished with a touch of cream for a velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. Add the onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the white beans and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and spinach, and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the bacon to the pot, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. This soup freezes well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
