Hearty White Bean & Millet Soup

This warming soup features a host of veggies, a touch of flavorful white wine and Parmesan cheese, and millet, a whole grain that cooks up quickly and gives the soup a hearty consistency. This recipe comes to us from Maria Tadic, RD, who blogs at Bean A Foodie.


Serves 4-6

    2 tbsp olive oil
    2 carrots, diced
    1 medium onion, diced
    2 ribs celery, diced
    1 head roasted garlic, minced
    28 oz can crushed tomatoes
    1/3 cup dry white wine
    1 1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp pepper
    15.5 oz can white beans, rinsed and drained
    3/4 cup millet
    1 bag baby spinach, roughly chopped
    6-7 cups vegetable broth (add more or less depending on your desired consistency)
    2 bay leaves
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat.  Add in the carrots, onion and celery and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften and brown slightly.

Add in the roasted garlic and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.  Add white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon removing any browned bits.  Cook for 3-5 minutes or until wine has reduced by half.

Add in the all the ingredients from crushed tomatoes to Parmesan cheese.  Bring soup to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to low.  Simmer soup on low for 30-45 minutes.

Before you’re ready to serve, stir in the chopped parsley.  Serve hot soup with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
