Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 1 diced onion, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Introduce 1 pint of halved cherry tomatoes, stirring occasionally until they begin to burst, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves along with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and a handful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic to soften.
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add 2 cans of drained cannellini beans. Increase the heat to bring to a gentle simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
- Lower the heat and mix in 8 ounces of vegan cream cheese and 2 cups of baby greens. Stir gently for 2-3 minutes until the cream cheese melts.
- Remove the pot from heat and squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes
For best results, sauté onions until fully translucent, and add greens towards the end to preserve color and texture.
