Red bean soup with walnuts is a true culinary masterpiece born at the intersection of European culinary traditions. Its rich, velvety flavor unfolds thanks to the combination of the softness of the beans and the nutty depth, complemented by a spicy hint of red pepper. Onions sautéed to golden perfection add pleasant sweetness and richness to the dish, while parsley refreshes it with green notes. This soup not only warms during cold weather but is also perfect for a light lunch, nourishing the body with plant protein and healthy fats. Ideal as a standalone dish or paired with fresh bread.
