For a richer flavor, sauté a few slices of bacon or pancetta in the pot before adding the vegetables. A bay leaf added during simmering will deepen the savory notes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken upon cooling; add a splash of broth or water when reheating to reach your desired consistency. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, sage, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

This Butter Bean Soup is a creamy, comforting embrace in a bowl. A quicker, stovetop rendition of a classic slow-cooked favorite, it's endlessly adaptable – enrich it with ham for a heartier meal or keep it vegetarian with vegetable broth. For a rustic touch, simply crush some of the beans to thicken the velvety texture.
