FAST and EASY White Bean Soup

By Thom7747

Ingredients

• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy bottom pot, over medium high heat, saute onion, carrot and celery in olive oil for about 5 minutes.

Add the beans, thyme, and broth.

Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.

Pour soup into a blender or use immersion blender. Blend soup for about 15-20 sec. You want the soup to be slightly blended but still have lots of texture.

Season with salt and pepper and serve with a few thyme leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over top.
