How to Make Baked Bean And Tomato Soup

  1. Sauté the chopped onion, carrot, and celery in a large saucepan over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the baked beans and 2 cups of water (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option). Bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften completely.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until a light golden roux forms (about 1-2 minutes).
  7. Gradually whisk the roux into the pureed soup, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  8. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Heat the soup through, but do not boil. Serve hot and enjoy!
