Ingredients

1 can white beans, drained
2 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 clove garlic
1 can tomatoes
1 tbsp dried mixed Italian herbs
A dash of white pepper
Boiled water from the kettle (enough to cover the ingredients in the blender)

Topping option: almond meal mixed with chili flakes and paprika

Place the drained white beans, hemp seeds, white miso paste, a peeled clove of garlic, the entire can of tomatoes (including the liquid), dried mixed Italian herbs, and a dash of white pepper into the blender.

 Carefully pour boiled water from the kettle into the blender, adding enough to cover the ingredients.

Secure the lid of the blender and vent slightly to release steam during blending.

Blend everything until you have a smooth, creamy consistency. You can adjust the water level if you want a thinner or thicker soup.

 Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your preference.

Your tomato and white bean cream soup is ready to enjoy! This plant-based soup is not only creamy and flavorful but also packed with protein from the white beans and added nutrition from the hemp seeds. The white miso paste provides a savory depth of flavor, and the Italian herbs add a Mediterranean touch. This soup is a quick, nutritious, and satisfying meal.
