Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup pearl onions

2 ribs celery, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups baby carrots, sliced into chunks

3 cups pearl potatoes or baby potatoes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add pearl onions, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in the pearl potatoes and carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes to develop flavor.

3. Add tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables, letting it caramelize slightly for 1–2 minutes.

4. Pour in diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle boil.

5. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.

6. Add white beans, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 5–10 more minutes.

7. Adjust seasoning, then remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

8. Serve hot with bread, over rice, or garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

Let the soup sit for a few minutes off the heat before serving — it helps the flavors settle beautifully.

Don’t overcook the potatoes; check them with a fork around the 25-minute mark.
