How to Make 15 Minute White Bean Soup

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced scallions and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the scallions begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the dried oregano and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes, or until heated through.
  6. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, lightly mash about one-third of the beans against the side of the pan to create a slightly thicker consistency. Leave some beans whole for texture.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Before serving, ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. For leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days.
