Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Incorporate diced small potato, sliced celery stalks, chopped carrots, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, ground coriander, mild red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is aromatic.
- Add crushed tomatoes, drained canned white beans, and low-sodium vegetable broth or water. Toss in the fresh thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
- Stir in crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan, fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- For a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a small amount of cooled soup until dissolved. Return to pot and stir for about 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with parsley, a sprinkle of cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve warm.

Notes
For a creamier texture, mash some of the white beans directly in the pot. Use a slow cooker for convenience.
