Add the dried thyme, wine, miso paste and continue to simmer for 1 - 2 minutes, making sure to continuously stir.
Pour in the tomatoes and bring back to a simmer. Allow to simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Just before blending, add half of the butter beans and stir to combine.
Blend the soup together with an immersion blender until smooth. Then add the half and half, season with salt, pepper (to taste), and serve immediately with desired toppings.
