Ingredients
  

  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic diced or minced
  • 3 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary *See Notes for Fresh Herbs
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme *see notes for fresh herbs
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a light kick)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth (or homemade bone broth)
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 soup pot
  • 1 Blender

Method
 

  1. In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
  2. In a blender, purée one can of beans with liquid until smooth. Drain the remaining two cans of beans.
  3. Add everything to the pot: the puréed beans, drained beans, broth, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Use your spoon to mash some of the beans against the side of the pot for a creamier texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
    Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil, a handful of homemade croutons, or your favorite crusty bread.
