Cannellini Bean Soup

Soups are one of my favourite appetisers. Aside from chicken soup, I prefer Cannellini Bean Soup. So, here's a simple recipe for you to try.

This dish is perfect for those cold winter days, and can be made quickly and easily. By using cannellini beans, this soup is high in protein and fiber, making it a healthy option. Not to mention, the addition of tons of veggies makes it a complete meal. Whether you're in the mood for a quick and easy meal or you want to whip up a delicious dish for a special occasion, cannellini bean soup is the perfect choice.

I thought this turned out great! I was so excited to see this recipe, as it had all my favourite soup ingredients. I used ½ cup of half and half instead of the coconut milk (since my son hates anything coconut), and that substitution was just fine. I also used half pinto beans since I didn’t have enough white beans, and that was fine as well, not too mushy or anything. Overall I thought it was so flavorful, simple...Give it a try soon!
