Using a rich flavor palette of vegetables, this simple, smooth bean soup tastes incredible.
Tip: If you don’t have an immersion blender, blend in a regular blender in small batches, leaving the top cap off the cover and making sure not to fill the blender more than halfway. You can cover the top vent with a clean kitchen towel to reduce splatter.
