Simple, comforting, and nourishing. Softened vegetables and cannellini beans in flavorful Tomato Bliss give this soup a velvety consistency without the need for flour, ground bread, or heavy cream (keeping this soup gluten and dairy free).

• Step 1

  Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add carrot and fennel, and cook until vegetables begin to soften and brown, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• Step 2

  Add beans, broth, and Tomato Bliss to the pot. Cover and cook on low until vegetables have softened and flavors have melded, 20-30 minutes.

• Step 3

  Transfer 3 cups vegetables and beans (using slotted spoon) and 2 cups liquid (using ladle) to blender. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir puree into soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
