Garlic Parmesan White Bean Stew is a cozy, high-protein and high-fiber meal that’s naturally gluten free and can easily be made vegetarian. Creamy beans, garlic, fresh herbs, and parmesan come together for a nourishing stew that’s hearty, comforting, and perfect with sourdough.
Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and celery cook for 5 minutes. Next, add in garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, pepper and rosemary. Cook for 5 more minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the kale. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes, until the veggies are tender.
Optional: Add 1-2 cups of soup to a blender and blend or partially blend with an immersion blender. This makes the soup creamy - but is not necessary.
Turn off heat and fold in kale. Divide out soup and serve. I topped mine with additional parmesan and red pepper flakes and served with toasted sourdough.
