Vodka Cream Sauce Soup (Tuscan White Bean Style)

Not just for Pasta

When you thought Vodka Cream was just for pasta, it turns out it makes a pretty incredible soup.

This recipe came together the way most good weeknight dinners do — with what was already in the fridge and pantry. One 16 oz container of Vodka Cream, a can of white beans, a couple of carrots, kale, and good chicken broth. That’s it.

Homemade chicken broth is always best if you have it. But when time isn’t on your side, Better Than Bouillon or a good-quality store-bought broth absolutely does the trick.

The sauce already includes tomato, cream, sausage, garlic, and basil — so the flavor foundation is already in place. Instead of tossing it with pasta, you stretch it into something cozy and comforting.

What You’ll Need

Serves 4–6 | Ready in about 30 minutes

1. 1 (16 oz) container of Totally Sauced Vodka Cream sauce

3. 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

4. 1–2 carrots, diced small

9. ½ lemon

   
   Equipment: You will need a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven

How to Make It

Here’s how this one-pot weeknight soup comes together — using simple, affordable ingredients you most likely already have in your fridge and pantry:

1. Add diced carrots and potatoes, sauté for 4–5 minutes, until slightly softened and lightly golden.

2. Stir in the full 16 oz container of Vodka Cream and warm through for 1–2 minutes.

3. Pour in 2¼–2½ cups chicken broth and add one can of drained cannellini beans.

4. Bring to a gentle simmer (avoid a hard boil) and cook for 8–10 minutes to let flavors meld.

5. Add chopped kale and simmer for 3–4 minutes, just until tender.

6. Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated Parmesan.

7. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten.

Simple, comforting, and very weeknight-friendly.

Serve it with warm, crusty bread for dipping to soak up every yummy spoonful. It’s creamy without feeling heavy, comforting but still balanced — reminiscent of a Tuscan-style bean soup, yet built from a container you already had in the fridge.

One container. One pot. Under $30.
