This Lemony White Bean and Spinach Soup is a bright, comforting, and deeply flavorful dish that brings together tender white beans, aromatic spices, and a vibrant citrusy finish. The broth is layered with complexity, starting with a base of sautéed onion, carrots, garlic and ginger, which infuse the soup with warmth and depth. A splash of white wine enhances the aromatics, while tomato paste adds richness and a subtle sweetness that deepens the flavor. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, a touch of harissa can be stirred in for gentle spice, though it’s entirely optional.

 

The white beans contribute a smooth, velvety texture, subtly thickening the broth while offering a satisfying heartiness. A swirl of pesto adds an herby richness, bringing depth and a fragrant, garlicky note that ties the flavors together beautifully. Fresh spinach is stirred in toward the end, adding a pop of color and a mild, earthy contrast to the zesty lemon. The citrus not only brightens the dish but also balances the richness of the beans and pesto, creating a light yet deeply nourishing soup.

 

Perfect for a cozy lunch or a light yet satisfying dinner, this soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful broth. Whether served on a chilly evening or as a refreshing meal year-round, its bold yet balanced flavors make it a go-to for those who love a mix of spice, citrus, and comforting textures.
