Red-Bean Soup with Gremolata

This vibrant red bean soup with gremolata is a nourishing vegan dish that brings together deep, smoky flavours and bright, zesty aromatics. The base is built on a savoury mixture of sautéed peppers, onions, and sun-dried tomatoes, which creates a rich complexity that perfectly complements the creamy texture of the kidney beans. Infused with sweet smoked paprika, the soup offers a warming depth that makes it an ideal choice for a wholesome midweek supper or a batch-cook lunch during the colder months.

As a protein-rich plant-based meal, this recipe is as healthy as it is satisfying. The final flourish of a homemade gremolata—a simple trio of lemon zest, garlic, and flat-leaf parsley—cuts through the heartiness of the beans with a sharp, herbal citrus kick. Serve this homemade soup in generous bowls with a drizzle of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and some crusty sourdough bread for a complete, balanced meal that the whole family will enjoy.
