Bean cream soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I make this soup vegetarian?

Yes! Simply omit the bacon. To add a smoky flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a few drops of liquid smoke.

What kind of beans work best in this soup?

Cannellini beans are classic, but great northern beans, navy beans, or even butter beans will work beautifully. Feel free to use your favorite!

How long does the bean cream soup last in the fridge?

Properly stored in an airtight container, bean cream soup will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze the bean cream soup?

Yes, you can! Allow the soup to cool completely, then transfer it to freezer-safe containers or bags. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

What's a good substitute for the wine in the recipe?

If you prefer not to use wine, you can substitute an equal amount of chicken or vegetable broth with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for acidity.

How can I make the soup thinner or thicker?

For a thinner soup, add more broth. For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for a longer period to reduce the liquid, or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) to the simmering soup and cook until thickened.

I don't have any thyme – what can I use instead?

Dried rosemary, savory, or oregano can be used as substitutes for thyme. Use about half the amount called for, as dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor.
