Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 ounces butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained butter beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
