"Food Network star, Giada De Laurentiis, is always sharing genius cooking tips from her TikTok account. But, her love of food and educating viewers about how to prepare simple and fulfilling meals extends to her other social media, too. In a Facebook post, De Laurentiis shares a clever legume swap to make your tomato soup creamy without the dairy. Instead of adding cream or milk to your soup, her tip is to simply blend in your favorite brand of canned white beans."
"This tip works particularly well as white beans are protein rich and create a delightful creamy texture when pureed. The mild flavor when added to tomato soup helps enrich the consistency, without altering the overall taste. Per De Laurentiis' recipe, you can use one 15-ounce can of cannellini beans to enhance a pot of batch of tomato soup. There are plenty of simple uses for canned beans, and this vegetarian-friendly tomato soup is an excellent option."
"If you want a more robust bowl of tomato soup, try adding a pureed can of white beans to a vegan roasted tomato soup recipe. This will certainly help to bulk up the dish with added protein and nutrients while also giving it a velvety smooth texture. If you'd prefer to vary the taste and consistency, there are a number of different types of white beans you can choose from to suit your preferences."
Blending canned white beans into tomato soup creates a creamy, protein-rich texture without using dairy. White beans offer a mild flavor that enriches consistency without overpowering tomatoes. One 15-ounce can of cannellini beans can enhance a batch of tomato soup. Using legumes instead of cream keeps the dish accessible for non-dairy diets; for a fully plant-based version, use vegetable broth and finish with vegan dairy-free Parmesan if desired. Different white bean varieties such as navy or butter beans can alter taste and consistency. Puree and season the beans before incorporating them into the soup for best results.
