This wonderful whole foods recipe for creamy white bean and roasted garlic soup with fragrant herbs is earthy and creamy and is excellent for cool days or evenings year round. White beans provide a mild back drop for whatever flavors are added to the soup, so the sweet nutty flavor of roasted garlic and the perfume of aromatic herbs make great companions. You can make the soup vegan with veggie broth, or enrich it with chicken broth; either version is sublimely delicious. This makes a great lunch or supper dish and needs only some greens and a nice piece of sprouted grain bread or small serving of whole grain (millet, wild rice, or blue corn tortilla chips are all great options) to round out the mix. If you're on a grain free diet, have the soup as a starter and follow it with a nice salad and Roasted Squash, or a light lean protein like one of those listed below the recipe.
