This time of year, I love to make soups. Soups are great for anyone who wants a complete meal and to save time during the week. This recipe uses a 5-7 quart Dutch oven (Affiliate Link), which makes it a one-pan recipe. Another thing I love about this Tuscan Bean soup recipe because it is super easy and quick to make. It is a vegan dish, so it is a light meal. It is also a gluten-free soup as well.

Tuscan Bean Soup Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and keep them together. This recipe will go fast. Check out the step-by-step photos below.
Cut the carrots into small pieces. I used baby carrots, so I chopped them into small-sized pieces. I chopped the celery and set that aside as well.
Then, I chopped the onion into bite-size pieces. I rinsed the white beans and measured out the broth.
Also, I clean the baby spinach, kale, and Swiss chard greens. Now that all the ingredients are measured out and rinsed, I am able to start the dish.
Now, heat a large 5 quart or larger saucepan. Add two tablespoons of olive oil (Affiliate Link) and red pepper flakes. Let it heat up for a few minutes. Then, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes.
Then, add the cannellini beans to the saucepan.
The next things to add are the oregano (Affiliate Link), rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper, and mix in the saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic if you want. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the broth. Bring to a boil and cook on low for 10 minutes.
Then, add the greens to the top of the broth and cook for 5 minutes or until wilted. Stir them into the soup, turn off the burner, and enjoy.

Tuscan Bean Soup Variations
You can add a ton of these to this easy tucan bean soup to make it even more delicious. Below are some I suggest.
- Chicken - you can add cooked chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces. Add about ¾ pound of cooked chicken breast after the beans are added.
- Garlic bread - you can make a side of garlic bread from scratch or buy it and bake it for dinner.
- Dried beans - if you do decide to use dried beans, you should cook them first and then add them like you would the canned beans to the soup above.
- Sun-dried tomatoes - chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the soup after the celery, onion, and carrots.
- Chickpeas - you can substitute the white cannellini beans with chickpeas if you want.
