No reviews

A comforting and hearty dish that combines the beloved flavors of French onion soup with the wholesome goodness of white beans.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white beans (canned or cooked)
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup cream or a dairy-free alternative
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add the minced garlic and thyme to the skillet, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the white beans and vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the cream and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider reducing the amount of cream or substituting it with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. The key to perfect caramelization of onions is to cook them slowly over medium heat.
