Recipe View 20 mins Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until the beans are very tender and the flavors have melded, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend some of the beans before serving.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro can be substituted, but fresh is best.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    This soup is amazing! I added a squeeze of lime juice at the end for extra zing.

  • Elmira Torp

    I used cannellini beans instead of Great Northern, and it was still delicious.

  • Vinnie Reichert

    I found it a little bland, so I added a teaspoon of cumin and it made a big difference.
