Mushroom and Cannellini Bean Soup

Mushroom and Cannellini Bean Soup, a simple and wholesome recipe for a naturally gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan soup that pleases everyone.

This soup is as easy to prepare as it is flavorful. You can use a mix of mushrooms like I did (specifically champignons, chanterelles, golden chanterelles, and porcini) or just one type.

For this recipe, both fresh and frozen mushrooms can be used, but if you use the latter, be careful to adjust the amount of vegetable broth.

The potatoes are optional, and you can omit them if you wish.

  • Start the preparation of the mushroom and cannellini bean soup by cleaning and chopping the onion.
    Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.
    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan with a sprig of rosemary.
    Add the onion and sauté it for a couple of minutes.

  • Add the cubed potatoes and cook them, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.

  • Put the mixed mushrooms into the pot and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  • Cover with hot vegetable broth or salted water and cook for about 20 minutes.

  • Continue the preparation of the soup by adding the drained and rinsed cannellini beans to the remaining ingredients.

  • Adjust with salt and ground pepper – I used mixed peppercorns but black pepper alone is fine – and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

  • At the end of the cooking, remove the rosemary sprig.

  • Transfer the mushroom and cannellini bean soup to the plates and complete the preparation with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
