During the cold months, I love to make a variety of bean soups, like my Jamaican Gungo Peas Soup and my Split Peas Soup. They each give their unique flavor using basic ingredients such as onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes.

For this Vegan White Bean Soup, I added coconut milk for extra creaminess and a combination of herbs for a unique taste. This vegan white bean soup has gusto and body, which is perfect for cold wintry days.
