How To Make Tuscan White Bean Soup and Butternut Squash Recipe- Step by Step

  2. Add carrots and butternut squash. Saute the vegetables, stirring often for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add chicken stock, tomato sauce, bay leaves, Italian Seasoning, and one teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Bring to a low simmer and cook loosely covered for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender. Add white beans, spinach, and sea salt. Spinach will wilt into the soup.

Tips & Variations

  • You can use homemade broth or a good quality store-bought broth
  • Add grated parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream, heavy cream or creme fraiche
  • We love either French bread or garlic bread with this recipe (gluten-free, of course!)
  • We sometimes add some sliced chicken apple sausage to the soup
  • Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds for some crunch
  • If you want a creamier texture, you can puree a few cups of the soup with an immersion blender in a separate pot and then return the soup to the main pot.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs or a handful of chopped parsley!
