White Bean and Chard Soup with Spiralized Celery Root

Ahhhhh, soup season.

I haven’t posted many soups this winter, so I’m excited to share a classic soup with a little Inspiralized twist: white bean and chard soup (with spiralized celeriac, or, celery root.)

Another one-pan wonder, this soup is so flavorful, but requires minimal ingredients. The white beans offer a vegan protein source, so I made this dish with vegetable broth and made the Parmesan optional, but if you want a more robust, savory soup, I really recommend chicken broth.

Swiss chard is a great leafy green to pack in in the wintertime, especially if you’re overdoing it with the kale. (I’m totally guilty of that!) It’s a great source of Vitamin K, A, and C – perfect for immunity boosting!

I love the taste of celery, so I used diced celery AND spiralized celery root, but if you’re sensitive to the taste, omit the diced celery in the beginning and just use spiralized celeriac (that’s the real star of this dish, afterall.)

Hope everyone had a great weekend – and if you watched the Super Bowl, what a nail-biter, right? Those last 30 minutes were crazy! I’m happy for all the Patriots players and fans, what an incredible game and what an accomplishment, especially for Tom Brady!

Lu’s gone this week, so I plan on eating super clean (it’s so much easier when you can just cook exactly what you want and not think about someone else’s cravings/preferences/etc), starting Santa Clarita Diet, and crushing my weekly work goals.

Happy Monday, hope everyone makes it a productive, healthy week!

  • Non-recipe-related, but "The Santa Clarita Diet" is great! Really hokey and over the top, but in an enjoyable way. Haha. I ended up watching the whole series this weekend!
  • Ali this looks delicious, but I have a question and it's not about this recipe. When, if you know is the inspiralizer going on sale again, I want to buy this new one for my niece. Thank you!
    • It is currently on sale for $39.95! Inspiralized.com/shop
      • Thank you!
  • Ali, I am on Weight Watchers, its not a diet, its a journey, and unlike other diets, it WORKS....diets are fine, but when you go off them, all the weight comes back on. I am using your recipes on my journey and am losing weight weekly, and I am not giving up any foods, just counting points and cutting portions, this is something I can remain on the rest of my life.....and without taboo foods. good luck with whatever you decide to do, I love your videos and recipes.
    • Lynne, I think you misread the post - the Santa Clarita Diet is a TV show, not an actual diet. Thanks!
  • I watched epsiode 1 the other night... too out there for me! haha! Soup looks awesome! This will make it tough now.. make another batch of the fideos soup or this!! Tough choices.... :)
  • Way too high in sodium! You also need to be specific about serving size-i.e. 1.5 cups etc.
    • I made soup but lowered the sodium by using really low sodium broth!!! Ali, would love to know if I can freeze, though!! Love you and Inspiralizer!!!!
  • how does this freeze? I have swiss chard in the fridge from my csa box, but nobody will eat this but me.
  • We all have a horrible cold this week so I can't wait to make this nice warm soup to help get us healthy again! Yum!
