Recipe Notes

This soup is sort of like a warm vichyssoise, but with white beans for thickening instead of potatoes. The beans offer a lot of filling and satisfying fiber and also help thicken the soup. The creamy and savory goat cheese really rounds out the flavor.

"To feel safe and warm on a cold wet night, all you really need is soup."
