👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 5–6 minutes until softened and fragrant.

2️⃣ Build the Soup

Add the broccoli, corn, white beans, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

3️⃣ Make It Creamy

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh lemon juice. For a thicker texture, blend about one cup of the soup and return it to the pot. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

4️⃣ Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan, and an extra squeeze of lemon. Serve hot with crispy garlic bread.

👨‍🍳 Pro Tips

✨ Blend a small portion of the soup to create a naturally creamy texture without adding extra cream.

🫘 Use canned white beans for convenience, or cook dried beans ahead of time for an even richer taste.

🌿 Finish with fresh herbs just before serving for the best aroma and color.
