Summer vegetable soup with beans is a light, nutritious, and aromatic dish perfect for the warm season. Its roots trace back to traditional Russian cuisine, where simple yet flavorful combinations are valued. This soup combines the sweet taste of onions, the freshness of celery, and the richness of canned tomatoes. White beans add tenderness and make the dish heartier. Thanks to butter and spices, the soup gains a deep, warming aroma. Its ease of preparation makes it an excellent option for everyday meals. It pairs wonderfully with crispy bread and fresh herbs, and its rich flavor unfolds even better after a short infusion. This soup is an ideal solution for a summer lunch when you want something light yet nourishing.
