I was a bit worried how this soup would turn out, it was a new soup adventure but I was so happy with the results. There were leftovers I kept warm for Matthew to eat after he came home later and he kept exclaiming how great this soup was as usually if there is no meat involved it’s not always a favorite, but this was a homerun out of the soup ballpark.
White Bean and Kale Pesto Soup
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Kale Pesto Or any type of pesto you prefer.
- 2.5 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 15 oz cans of Great Northern Beans
- 3/4 cup of Roasted Peppers
- 2 Tablespoons Parmesan grated
- pinch of black pepper
Instructions
To roast the peppers
- Preheat your oven to 375 and wash 3-4 medium size bell peppers (any color you want). Leave the stems on. Place the peppers on a aluminum foil covered cookie sheet. Place the sheet in the oven. Every 20 minutes turn the peppers using the stems you left on until 1 hour is up. At this time you should see that all your pepper skins have wrinkled and turned blackish. Take peppers out and cool them for 20 minutes so you can touch them. Once cool peel the peppers so the skin comes off easily. Make sure all seeds are removed from the peppers and disregard them. You should have now have slippery beautiful peppers. Cut them up into small pieces to have 3/4 cup for this recipe.
Directions
- Pour your chicken stock into a pot at medium-high heat.
- Add beans and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and add your pesto, roasted peppers and pinch of black pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Add Parmesan cheese and stir soup.
- Serve in bowls. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
You can substitute Vegetable Broth for Chicken Broth instead.
Hi, my name is Pamela and I am in love with Roasted Peppers. Oh goodness I just love them! Don’t they just smell amazing?
Here’s the slimy peppers with their skin off. I then cut them up into bite size pieces.
Here’s the main ingredients which you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s my kale pesto recipe if you’d like to use it, or use another pesto if you’d like!
This soup is done so quick. If you have the roasted peppers done ahead of time, even better! I’m going to freeze a bunch up so I can make this all winter long for quick dinners!
I just love seeing the specks of the pesto.. yum!
The roasted peppers really make this special too!
This is totally going to be my Fall soup, I’m already planning on making it again soon!
I hope you enjoy this with a blanket on your lap! Relax and enjoy!
[…] aren’t they? Immediately I made stuffed pepper casserole. Then I took a bunch to roast to freeze for the winter. And tonight is stuffed pepper soup. I’m in love. What’s your favorite […]
I love that the soup weather is here! Soup is one of my favorite things to have for dinner. It is nice and light, warm, and doesn’t bog you down while you’re sleeping. Enjoy your day!

The stew reminds me of the Tuscan bean stew I made a month ago. I love the sound of kale pesto & roasted peppers.
That stew sounds yummy!

Pamela – I’m at this point right now where I want to make a pot of soup every few days just to make sure I constantly have some in the fridge to warm up for a meal. White bean soup is one of my favorites and I love this idea of the kale pesto.
I totally agree, I’m thinking about having a soup day and freezing them, so I have them when it’s time for a soup night!
It is just the weather for comforting soup.
I totally agree! A cozy chilly night soup!
This combines so many of my favorite soup ingredients- I’m sure I would love it!
Hope you enjoy it!

It’s probably quite difficult to hit home runs out of the soup ballpark, unless one is inordinately tall. Or wearing stilts.
Thinking about how much I wish I was walking around on stilts right now.
Stilts in soup sounds slippery Emma. Be careful! 😉
