Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the drained and rinsed white beans, vegetable broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened.
5. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend a portion of the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave some beans whole for texture.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or crusty bread, if desired.
Notes
For a creamier soup, blend a larger portion of the beans. You can also add diced carrots or celery for extra vegetables. This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
