This rosemary white bean and potato soup is simple and hearty. Dried rosemary brings the flavor, and nutritional yeast is optional but highly encouraged.
It's made on the stove in about 45 minutes and starts similarly to my red lentil and potato soup with onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and yellow potatoes. Here, canned white beans replace the lentils.
Instead of lemon, the seasoning is inspired by my rosemary tofu.
This chunky vegan soup is a meal on its own, but it also pairs well with my cucumber tomato pepper salad and crusty bread. It tastes even better the next day and reheats well, so you may want to make a double batch.

This is tasty and simple to prepare. I love how the potatoes releasing their starch makes this soup look and taste so creamy, without any cream. I added a bay leaf, as well as extra carrots and celery, and used canned navy beans. Although I love rosemary, I found the quantity a little overwhelming for me, so next time I will reduce it, and add some other herbs, possibly oregano, basil, marjoram, and more garlic. Thank you very much for the delicious recipe.

Ingredients
- Potatoes: Yellow potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, work best for this soup. No need to peel them.

Looks good. Since I have fresh rosemary growing in my garden, I will use that in place of the dried. Thank you.

Fantastic! Since you're using fresh rosemary, you can add more. I can't wait to hear how it turns out!
