Warming, filling, and delicious, this herb flavoured white bean stew is delightfully vegan and will definitely bring warmth on a cold winter day. If you don’t have winter savory, sage or rosemary would be the perfect substitute.

- Put beans into a large saucepan, cover with 5 cups water, and let soak overnight. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Drain beans and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly. Add the tomatoes, white beans, and winter savory leaves. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavours have mingled, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

I love the color and the flavor combo of this soup! Makes me want to dig right in! Have a great week, Angie!
I am a little overwhelmed by the plethora of wonderful dishes folks have been sharing, particularly in the last few days. These beans are definitely much like things I have done. Aren't they grand?
Hmm - and vegan too! My kind of soup!
Such a nice, simple & easy recipe!
And oh dear, do you have a pressure cooker? It would save you time in letting beans get tender in 15 minutes instead of 1 hour! :)
This would be a perfect and delicious meatless meal, Angie. So healthy but warm and satisfying too.
I do this with sage - would be fun to swap for the savory. Your opening photo - perfect!
I love beans, and I love white beans the most. they are just so comforting.
I've been thinking about making a white bean soup, I just love the tomatoes and herbs in your soup;-)

Ooooh, I want some of this beanie goodness too; not to keep warm though as it's just HOT here :p
No doubt this is warming and satisfying. Also a good treat after the heavy meals during the Chinese New Year : ).
Happy Lunar New Year Angie! Yum! I love beans stewed in tomato sauces, even the can ones! Now I can cook up a big pot for myself, nice! 😊
This is such a wonderful recipe and your photos are just stunning.
What a hearty and flavourful meal Angie.

My dad will enjoy this dish. he loves white beans and tomato sauce but really hates the canned versions. Let me try this out and surprise him with this hearty stew. Thank you for posting this!
White beans in tomato sauce looks very flavourful n tempting

I adore beans and you've made these especially attractive Angie. We grew winter savory one year - what a lovely herb.

So simple so good, what is savory similar to?
Very few ingredients, easy to make and it looks comforting and delicious, Angie!
Mmm this sounds so fresh and tasty. I'm thinking it would be perfect over polenta!
Your bean stew looks really inviting and it is vegan too! BTW, the bowl with the handle is really cute!

We just made navy beans (which are actually white!) for our skiing day. I just love how creamy beans get when they are cooked really slowly. And I love the plating, Angie.
What a beautiful stew...love the creamy white beans...looks delicious especially in this cold weather Angie.
Have a great week :)
This looks beautiful and I'm sure tastes delicious. What a comforting stew!
Since I've been on my WW program, I've been eating a lot of grains, and beans, and will add your bean stew to my list of recipes that I want to make. This has to be on the top of my beans list! Yummmy!...healthy, and delicious:DDD

This looks and sounds absolutely wonderful, Angie. I love simple recipes like this one. And soups make me so happy right now.
This is so simple and I am sure very delicious..... but I just hate you look at the photos, they are just beautiful. Awwwww!
Lovely lentil stew -- we love lentils and have it all the time :)
This is such a lovely dish! Totally delicious!
We make something similar in Greece! I love your version too!
Beautiful color. Love your presentation.
A simple, but delicious meal...perfect for a busy night's dinner.
Looks like a very hearty and delicious dish. Great shots, I would love a bowl of it!
I love a slow-cooked bean dish like this! And, I love that it's vegan. Sounds fantastic.
Perfect. I'm craving a succulent bean stew and this is just what I'm looking for. Looks melt-n-the-mouth-fantastic.
Thanks for reminding me about Winter Savory---an herb not often used where I live, but adds a welcome herbal note to the beans. I have some wonderful Cannellini beans in my pantry right now---perfect for this recipe.
I love white beans! Especially in a soup or stew. This is a beautiful dish. You could teach classes on food art!
This soup looks so healthy, hearty and fabulous!
This looks so perfect right about now! It's been cold and rainy and I've been craving dishes like this. I love white beans but rarely eat them - need to try this!
We are on the same bean page this week. Your photo is great and beans and tomatoes are a great duo in January.
I was admiring this very stew on Gawker (or Tastespotting) yesterday... so colourful and vibrant; beautiful.
This sounds delectable--one of David's friends is vegan and I never know quite what to feed him during the winter. This is perfect!
This look so comfortingly delicious! Beautiful bowl of stew!
Comforting and love the color! Perfect for this season.
I love bean and this recipe would be a great one for me to try
lovely....liked the vibrant color of the dish....delicious !
With a loaf of rustic, crusty bread...I couldn't resist this comfort.
Angie, legumes are eaten very often in my home...your recipe will come in very handy. Thanks ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia

I just found out your blog. I love your pictures. There are beautiful!!!
That is one of my best comfort foods. We have a similar one with the addition of mint. I am not sure what winter savory herb is but I bet it tastes good with tomato sauce.
What a beautiful and warming dish...lovely flavors :)
Perfect for this cold weather.
oh yumm... this perfectly fits the slow carb diet that I'm on! thanks
