Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled, cut in small cubes
  • 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce, if desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (15oz) can SunVista® White Beans (drained, rinsed)
  • 3/4 cup (3oz) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

In 4-quart saucepan, cook onion, celery and carrot in oil over medium-high heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and add garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add broth, potatoes, hot sauce, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 10 minutes, adding beans and 1/2 cup of the cheese last 2 minutes. Cook until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted. For thick creamy soup, place 3 cups of soup into blender. Cover and place folded kitchen towel over lid. Carefully blend and return to saucepan. Garnish individual servings with green onion and remaining cheese.

Tip: For a vegan option, omit the cheese. You can also use an immersion blender in place of a standard blender. Do not remove 3 cups. Simply blend entire recipe with immersion blender until part of the soup is smooth and creamy.
