For an even richer flavor, consider using roasted garlic instead of fresh. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup after step 5. To make this soup vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. A swirl of pesto on top adds a vibrant burst of flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

StepGather all your ingredients, prepping them as described above. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. (5-6 minutes)
03
StepAdd the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant. (1 minute)
04
StepIntroduce the drained and rinsed Great Northern beans to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer gently. With a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash about half of the beans to create a creamier texture. (5 minutes)

StepLadle the Marry Me Bean Soup into bowls. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil before serving. Enjoy this enchanting soup that's as delightful to make as it is to savor!
