Method

  1. 1

    Warm the extra-virgin olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the pot; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it deepens in color to a rich brick red.

  4. 4

    Add the diced gold potatoes, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the soup to a full rolling boil over high heat, about 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot partially, and simmer for 12 minutes until the diced potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

  6. 6

    Stir in the cannellini white kidney beans and simmer uncovered for 4 minutes so the beans heat through and absorb the herb-rich broth.

  7. 7

    Turn off the heat, and ladle the warm soup into four shallow bowls.

Tip

Store cooled leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Because the potatoes and beans continue to absorb liquid, add a small splash of broth or water when gently reheating.
