This Tuscan White Bean Soup is packed with veggies and most flavourful meatballs. The veggies I used are white beans, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes and celery. This soup is a classic rustic soup often served in Tuscany, especially during cold winter months. In this soup recipe, I used a blend of Italian spices such as paprika, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. The meatballs are light and tasty making, this soup hearty and delicious. When serving this soup In Italy, they often add freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the soup, adding creaminess and cheesy flavour. But, this soup is not complete without a crusty baguette.

This soup will not disappoint. Enjoy!
